This groundbreaking A-Z of neurodiversity provides an accessible and definitive resource for professionals, families, and anyone seeking to better understand the vast landscape of neurodiversity as well as the experiences and potential of neurodivergent people.

Covering over 370 terms, the book offers a nuanced understanding of each term's multifaceted relevance and is structured around seven key categories:

• Advocacy, rights, and community dynamics
• Support and therapy
• Education and professional contexts
• Harmful, pathologising, and stigmatising concepts and practices

Enriching this comprehensive reference, the book includes over 60 first-hand contributions from 12 neurodivergent individuals from across the world. Their diverse identities, lived experiences, and insights provide cross-cultural, intersectional, and deeply personal perspectives, offering powerful additional context to the definitions explored. These contributors are Iqra Babar, Benjamin Breaux, Agustina Cardoso, Joris Fouet, Aditi Gangrade, Virginia Grant, Andrew Kingslow, Jo LaPlana, Hazel Lim, Kosjenka Petek, Lyric Rivera, and William Vanderpuye.

This encyclopaedia is an essential resource for neurodivergent individuals, professionals in social care, healthcare, education, and mental health; families, policymakers, the wider public, and anyone interested in learning more about neurodiversity.
