PSA for people writing about autism, ADHD etc and using neurodiversity language:
1. Thanks for using less pathologising, inclusive language!
2. "Diversity" describes a group containing a variety of types. "Divergent" describes a single instance that deviates from a norm.
In context: a person who is, for example, autistic, is neurodivergent. Their neurotype diverges from the typical. They're not neurodiverse.
A group of neurotypical & neurodivergent people is neurodiverse.
