We've all been told, at one point or another, to "just be yourself". Whether you are starting school, beginning a new job, attending a party-any time you are trying to find your place in a new or unfamiliar environment-well-meaning advisors offer this nugget of wisdom. But what if being your authentic self means you don't fit in with what society or your peers may consider "normal"? What is "normal", anyway? Join Dr. Kyler Shumway and Dr. Daniel Wendler to explore these questions and many others in Neurodiversity and the Myth of Normal. In six lectures, Dr. Shumway and Dr. Wendler will help you understand the nature of neurodiversity, a growing school of thought that seeks to embrace the range of differences in individual brain function and behaviors rather than "correct" them, with a focus on empathy, acceptance, and accommodation. To help you better understand neurodiversity, your instructors will guide you through three core concepts. We often fear what we don't understand. To combat this fear, the concept of neurodiversity can help us recognize the vast spectrum of human experience, embrace that people are people no matter how they are wired, and realize that there's no such thing as "normal".
