Neuroversity
Neuroversity provides a space to educate ourselves and others about neurodiversity, to elevate the experiences of the neurodivergent, to be a source of support for members and allies of this community, and to help move the culture towards valuing and including diverse neurological conditions. This is a space where questions are welcomed and encouraged and honoring individual experiences is the number one rule.

It’s time for another entry into the Word of the Week series-where I pick a word well known or often used among those in the neurodiversity community, and try to understand it more in the context of my world in hopes to build a bridge of understanding to a broader community.
This week we will learn:
- What is hyperlexia
- The three types of hyperlexia
- The prevalence of hyperlexia in the neurodivergent population
