Semester 4: Week 10

This week, you will learn about neurodiversity. Neurodiversity means that human brains can work in many different ways and these differences are natural. No brains are wrong or “bad”; every brain is simply unique!  

The word neurodivergent describes a person whose brain works in a unique way. A neurodivergent person might be autistic or have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Tourette syndrome, stuttering, or other differences.

You will also read an article about the double empathy problem (Milton, 2012) this week. Learning about this theory will help you become a better friend and ally to your peers.

Instructions:

First, watch What is Neurodiversity?

Then, read Double Empathy: Why Autistic People Are Often Misunderstood.

Next, complete the Week 10 Reflection.
