People with neurodivergent conditions may meet the criteria to be defined as disabled under the Equality Act 2010.  

Neurodivergence is the term for when an individual’s brain processes, learns, and/or behaves differently from what is considered ‘typical’. 

A neurodivergent individual may have difficulty with social interaction, issues with focus and concentration, an intense interest in a particular topic or activity, and difficulty following instructions. 

Examples of neurodivergent conditions include autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Tourette’s syndrome, dyslexia and dyspraxia.
