Neurodiversity refers to the diversity of human brains and minds, including variations in neurological functioning such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions. Discrimination based on neurodiversity occurs when individuals are treated unfairly or unfavorably due to their neurological differences.
Discrimination based on neurodiversity can manifest in various ways, including hiring decisions, promotion opportunities, performance evaluations, workplace accommodations, or social interactions. Such discrimination not only violates individuals’ rights but also undermines the principles of inclusivity, equity, and diversity in the workplace.
