Time For College Admissions To Consider A New Diversity (HuffPost)

It’s the college admissions decision season, a time when colleges and universities beat their chests with statistics for their incoming freshmen classes. But in the midst of all this self-aggrandizement, one term you probably won’t hear referenced is neurodiversity, a concept that stresses the need to recognize neurological differences like Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and matters that fall along the Autism Spectrum. Despite a growing amount of research, very few, if any, colleges and universities even recognize the term neurodiversity let alone display any specific information on how it factors into consideration for admissions.
