Building a Foundation

This informational website builds on the "family navigation" services in autism to holistically encompass all types of neurodivergences and brain variations. Over time, we will expand the content within each category and include reputable external links and research studies to support key concepts. We also value compelling anecdotes that raise important questions in the field of neurodiversity. As a newly formed non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we aim to provide valuable resources to the public and are seeking grants to maintain the website.

Layering of Topics

We are implementing a systematic approach to supporting neurodiversity by investigating societal perceptions of neurodivergence, starting with the development of the autismU.org website. This site features a classification system that begins with the individual and expands to community, state, and national levels, with the goal of reaching a global audience. While some cultures recognize neurodivergences like autism, others may lack formal understanding or terminology for these variations.

Clarifying Definitions

Navigating definitions of neurodiversity, and neurodivergences specifically, can be confusing, but this website aims to provide clear and accurate descriptions. As terminology evolves, inclusive language will be utilized. Refer to the overview table for an introduction to neurodiversity. We seek to offer valuable insights on various neurodivergences, with the goal of educating and helping individuals understand different brain functions.
