Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

I am all too familiar with the concept of neurodiversity, even before learning about the movement due to my son’s issues. My father, now a retired educator, was fascinated with "learning styles’ as they related to the concepts portrayed in this article, and the issues I had in school, as well as those my son has now, make me fully aware of this.
