Throughout our life, our brain helps us adapt to the surrounding environment. However, our brain may not always stay adaptive, e.g., when genes bias neural development in certain directions, or when a traumatic experience leaves strong fear memory traces. Such traits or states of the brain may appear dysfunctional to some. But I prefer to see them as “neurodiversity,” a quality that can potentially enrich all our lives if the individuals with these diverse brains are better accommodated by society.
