The Diversity of The Human Brain

Understanding Autism, ADHD & Other Types of Neurodivergence

Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person. From autism and ADHD to the other types of neurodiverse conditions, neurodiversity describes people who experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways and how these differences should not be viewed as deficits. In this 3-week course with neuroscientist Dr. Hagar Goldberg, discover insights and strategies to help you gain a deeper understanding of neurodivergence and practical ways to manage it better.

• Learn about neurodiversity from multiple perspectives – both scientific and personal, covering the social, psychological, clinical and neuroscientific modern approaches.
• Befriend your brain by integrating the scientific with the personal to promote self-understanding and compassion for the brain and its stories.
• Understand the importance of neurodiversity in promoting flexible and inclusive social systems and expanding human empathy and connection.
• Utilize brain science and self-awareness to raise self-acceptance and agency over your life.
• Through the exploration of neurodiversity, work toward self-love and ways to fulfill your human potential and expand your impact and satisfaction.
