Majority of Britons May Now Consider Themselves Neurodivergent

A leading psychologist suggests that a majority of Britons may now identify as neurodivergent due to increased awareness and reduced stigma surrounding conditions like autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Professor Francesca Happé attributes this to both increased diagnoses and self-diagnosis. While celebrating the greater tolerance, particularly among younger generations, she also cautions against overdiagnosis, noting that behaviors once considered mere eccentricities might now be labeled as neurological conditions.
