Autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other forms of neurodivergence are increasingly part of public conversations about identity, disability and inclusion.  But neurodiversity is more than a collection of diagnoses. It challenges us to rethink ideas of normality, difference and belonging.  Together, we will explore the neurodiversity movement, look at Jewish texts through a  neurodivergent lens and ask what this perspective might mean for our communities and spaces.  What would it mean for Jewish spaces to be more inclusive of different ways of thinking, communication and perceiving?  To the person: Benji is a psychologist working as a pediatric neuropsychologist, specializing in the assessment and support of children and adolescents with epilepsy. He is also interested in neurodiversity and its intersections with Jewish life, identity, and community
