DIY/DEI: Understanding Neurodiversity

In this guide, we attempt to unravel the intricacies of neurodivergent experiences, celebrating the unique strengths, perspectives, and contributions of individuals whose neurocognitive functioning differs from the perceived norm. By fostering understanding and embracing neurodiversity, we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive world where every mind is recognized, appreciated, and valued. We hope this exploration goes beyond awareness and delves into the rich tapestry of neurodivergence with empathy, respect, and a commitment to building communities that honor the diversity of human cognition.

To support your efforts, the NC State University Libraries and the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity have created a curated list of resources to inform your inquiry, introspection, and engagement with this topic. Engaging with these resources will allow you to explore DEI and develop your narrative and understanding.
