In Neurodiversity: Discovering the extraordinary gifts of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other brain differences, author Thomas Armstrong argues that the human brain can be wired many different ways. He believes that we should not think of conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. as "disorders" but to recognize that people who have these conditions may also have gifts or strengths in certain areas.Armstrong offers tips for teachers who have students with one or more of seven different disorders (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, intellectual disabilities, and schizophrenia). He emphasizes that a better understanding of neurodiversity will help generate more respect for people with these conditions and, with more respect, a more fullfilling life.
