It is an extension of DNA which is to help people with neurological differences that include: Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, and Autistic Spectrum, but neurodivergence can also include related conditions like Auditory Processing Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, and other things that tend to overlap with 6 main neurodivergences. It is to help raise awareness and understanding about neurodivergence and neurodiversity. It helps people understand that the symptoms and traits of neurodivergent conditions overlap with psychiatric disorders. Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) also wants to stress the need for multisensory learning environment in schools because neurodivergence tends to involve a way of learning that is different from the norm. DNA wants to help raise awareness and understanding of non-drug approaches to dealing with neurodivergent conditions including especially ADHD and Autistic Spectrum which tend to get treated with medication. The neurodiversity movement is mainly an equal rights movement for people with neurodivergence and expresses that a different mind is not necessarily a deficient mind. Neurodiversity is an idea which asserts that atypical neurological development is a normal human difference that is to be respected as any other human variation.
