About Us

We are the UCI Neurodiversity Support Group. Neurodiversity describes the notion that people interpret and interact with the world in diverse ways, that there is no one single right way to think, learn, or behave, and that the spectrum of this diversity should not be viewed as deficits. The goal of the UCI Neurodiversity Project is to support the efforts of neurodiverse or neurodivergent individuals to succeed in the physical sciences. We seek to promote the success of neurodiverse individuals in the physical sciences. This group is inclusive of students and postdocs at all levels and seeks to provide support to those that identify as having neurodivergent traits, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other neurological or developmental disorders or learning disabilities.
