HR Glossary

What is Neurodiversity?

The natural variation in human brain function and behavioral traits, recognizing conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Tourette syndrome as normal differences rather than deficits to be fixed.

Why it matters in hiring

Neurodiversity comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
