Neurodiversity means that people experience and interact with the world in many different ways. There is no one “right” way to think, learn and behave. The entire spectrum of human experience and behaviour includes, in addition to the neurotypical (i.e. meeting the “norm”) profile, other neurological and developmental conditions, such as autism or ADHD.

Manuel Stark, journalist and autistic, explores how people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia or dyscalculia can enrich our society. Among others, he meets Prof. Dr. Isabel Dziobek and Dr. Renata Wacker, who are researching the strengths of neurodivergent people at the Humboldt University in Berlin.
