Neurodiversity
The term “neurodiversity” refers to the diversity of all people, but is often used in the context of autism, as well as ADHD/ADHC (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder/condition), dyslexia, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Disability
Disability is a broad term that is defined in both legal and scientific ways and encompasses physical, psychological, intellectual, and socioemotional impairments (World Health Organization, 2001, 2011). The members of some groups of people with disabilities—effectively subcultures within the larger culture of disability—have particular ways of referring to themselves that they would prefer others to adopt. When you use the disability language choices made by groups of disabled individuals, you honor their preferences.
