Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is the viewpoint that humans have vast differences in the way they learn, think and behave. People often get confused between the difference of “neurodiversity” and “neurodivergency”.

Neurodiversity is the viewpoint that humans have vast differences in the way they learn, think and behave. People often get confused between the difference of “neurodiversity” and “neurodivergency”.
Neurodivergencyis a term that describes people having a condition, disability or disorder that effects the way they think, behave, learn or function for what is considered “typical”, or “normal” in society. The more we understand neurodiversity, there is, however, a change in what is considered “typical” and “normal”.
It is thought that at least 20% of society is neurodivergent, but as we learn more about this concept we are realizing that definitions are evolving and the world must be much more than 20% neurodivergent.

The INA Research Fund supports clinical research into various brain diseases and conditions to maximize and empower the abilities and impact of those who are neurodivergent. The INA Research Fund is a fund of the American Brain Foundation. The American Brain Foundation (ABF) is a national charitable foundation that invests in research across all brain and nervous system disorders, knowing they are all connected. Our mission is to accelerate breakthrough research across all brain diseases and foster brain health for all.
ABF works closely with the American Academy of Neurology—our founder and research partner, and the world’s largest organization of neurologists—which vets research proposals and administers our research grants.
