We are all neurodiverse.
Neurodiversity refers to the natural diversity of all human brains. It acknowledges that there is no single “normal” way to think, learn, or experience the world. This concept includes both neurotypical and neurodivergent people and views these differences as a valuable part of human diversity.
An umbrella term that encompasses a variety of neurological differences.

Being neurodivergent means experiencing the physical, social, or sensory world differently than neurotypical people. These differences may be unrecognized, undiagnosed, or show up in many ways. They can be associated with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, tic disorders, sensory processing differences, and other cognitive or developmental variations.
Neurodivergence is not an inherent disability.
Neurodivergence is a non-medical term.
TalkSpot offers a supportive space where neurodivergent students in the Faculty of Engineering can talk through challenges in a way that honours diverse thinking, communication, and sensory needs. Through a same‑day appointment, you can work with the TalkSpot counsellor to problem‑solve, gain perspective, and explore strategies that fit how your brain works. TalkSpot can also help you identify campus supports that reduce barriers and make your academic and social environment more accessible. Sessions are confidential and designed to meet you where you’re at.
