Understanding Neurodiversity Wheel

This video introduces a practical way to map different experiences and symptoms using a neurodiversity wheel. Through personal examples, it shows how people can experience different areas at different levels of intensity, offering teachers a way to reflect on the varied experiences their students may have.

What the video covers:

• How the neurodiversity wheel can be used to map different experiences according to their intensity.

• Examples comparing two individual wheels and how they can highlight different areas of intensity.

• Experiences such as routine and predictability, social communication, masking, focused interests, time blindness, and rejection sensitivity.

• How completing a wheel can help identify and reflect on experiences that may not always be immediately visible to others.

• Guidance on creating and using your own wheel, including placing lower-intensity experiences closer to the centre and higher-intensity experiences toward the outer edges.

The activity provides a practical opportunity for teachers and educators to reflect on the different experiences their students may have and consider how these experiences can vary from person to person.
