NEURODIVERSITY
Dispelling Misconceptions
Dispelling Misconceptions
"Our neurological differences are not problems to be cured, but natural variations in brain function. My favorite analogy: a Mac computer doesn't run on Windows, but that doesn't mean it's broken. It's just different."
Marissa "Missy" Pittard, Co-founder at Beaming Health
Misconceptions or myths about neurodiversity comprise one of the most challenging obstacles that neurodiverse individuals encounter on the road to employment. These myths help to perpetuate a level of stigma around the neurodiverse person. Embracing neurodiversity promotes a better and more inclusive workplace and world for everyone.
We are proud of our Leander ISD Vocational Services students who have risen above all challenges to achieve meaningful employment outcomes. We thank our employer partners for opening doors and creating opportunities.
