Neurodiversity

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen to evaluate this neurodiversity article because I feel like it is a good starting place to learn more about how the brain functions in different people. I am creating a mentoring group to support the youth with and without disabilities, and I feel it is important to have a good understanding of how the brain functions in people who have learning difficulties, have trouble socializing, or deal with mental and emotional disabilities.

This article gives the reader a good sense of who neurodiversity can affect someone in the workplace, how social media can impact this community, controversy that's been discussed within this community, the history of neurodiversity, and the terms being used when talking about said community.
