Neurodivergent is not a single disease. It is used for different types of syndromes. The brain development of neurodivergent children is different from that of normal children, but through proper care and therapy, these children can also lead a normal life.

Aamir Khan's film Sitare Zameen Par has been released in theatres. This film is very special. 10 new faces are working with Aamir in it who are neurodivergent. These artists are special children who have different types of syndromes. They are called neurodivergent. According to experts, neurodivergent is used for those children whose brain is slightly different than normal children in thinking, understanding, and feeling things.

According to clevelandclinic , neurodivergence is not a single disease or syndrome. It is just that the brain works a little differently. There are some mental problems that come under this category. Such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Tourette syndrome. These are all those syndromes whose victims always behave differently from normal children. There is no permanent cure for these syndromes. They can only be controlled.

Do neurodivergent children lag behind in studies?

Former Dr. Rakesh Kumar Bagdi of the Department of Pediatrics at Delhi AIIMS says that being neurodivergent does not mean that the child is less intelligent or his mental condition is not good. It is not necessary that neurodivergent children will be bad in studies. Their brains can also be more creative. They can have a deep interest in art and music. They just need to be taught and explained in a slightly different way. They need a little more care and better understanding than normal children. With the right guidance and support, such children can achieve extraordinary success.

Is it possible to prevent or cure being neurodivergent?

Dr. Rakesh explains that neurodivergent means that the person's brain does not develop the way it should, which means that it cannot be stopped or completely cured. Because it happens due to genetic reasons. It can only be controlled. For some people, such as those with ADHD, behavioral therapy and medicines can improve their quality of life. With the right guidance and care, these children can also lead a normal life. For this, it is important that these children are not considered different from society. Work should be done to make their lives better by bringing them into the mainstream.
