“I think when one becomes identified with a label that’ll become all anyone sees; the expansiveness and breadth of the all of who you are suddenly hidden from view. I look to the entire history of the label and how it came to be. Our Western world likes to compartmentalize putting everything into simplistic categories. Now they have such terms as ‘neurotypical’ and ‘neurodivergent’, separating the entire human population on the plant into two categories. I would say that ‘neurotypical’ is a diversity as well.” - Kurt Muzikar, Introduction to Bozo to Bosons. (“73 Favorite Quotes”, 2016.)
According to Nason (2014), autism, in its simplest definition, is an “information processing disorder.” (p 45.) Our brains are all wired differently and how we take in and process information is therefore different. Those with autism may experience cognitive problems with rapidly processing multiple information simultaneously, focusing on little details, interpreting information, executive functioning (planning, organizing, following through) and abstract thinking or problem solving. (Nason, pg 45 and 46.) Living in a fast paced world, these unique individuals feel like outsiders, unable to keep up with what mental capabilities they have. During normal brain development, the formation of synapses, or the connections between brain cells, occurs. A new published brain-tissue study suggests that children affected by autism have a surplus of these synapses. (“Asperger 's syndrome”, 2016.)
Example 3: My colleague is a wife of her husband, parent of her children, teacher for her children.
Diversity has many definitions but only one true meaning. This concept Analysis is dedicated to exploring the broadened sense of diversity through active concepts with respect to term usage, and current literature research to support the understanding and relevance of the term itself.
When America was founded, it was established on freedom and equality for all people. At first it was just religious freedom, but eventually freedom of speech, press, petition, and more. In time, America began to be known as a “melting pot” of cultures as more and more people came because they wanted this freedom; the more people who came though, the more problems America had. There were too many cultural discrepancies between people, and ultimately America, the country based on freedom and equality, faced challenges concerning diversity.
The schema of a Clinical Psychologist is a slightly older, Caucasian female. Just like schemas in any other profession, this may inadvertently discourage some to join certain vocations because they may not see themselves fitting the schema. I am fortunate that my rich array of experiences has taught me otherwise.
I was very excited when I saw this essay prompt because diversity is actually one of the main criteria that drew me into NC State. All throughout my schooling life, for as long as I can remember, I never attended any schools that were diverse. There was always one extremely predominant race or gender, and it’s something that truly disturbed me. I am excited to attend a college that is so diverse in many aspects, that I will be able to benefit from in multiple different ways. I will be able to learn and understand new perspectives which will help me gain an open mind and heart to be able to accept different kinds of people. I will be able to familiarize myself with different backgrounds and cultures, because I am so accustomed to my own, I
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be a disorder in the brain, caused by genetic, environmental or neural levels. Autism effects data processing in the brain by alerting how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs not understand. (Johnson.2004)
According to Kids Health (2014), “children with Autism have difference in the way their brains develop and process information”. For example, “language delay, trouble communicating with their brains, perform certain unusual or repetitive behaviors, or have difficulties learning in school” (p. 1).
Being involved with the community and society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour
The concept of diversity is one that individuals may not think of when they think of nursing. Diversity is a major component to nursing and the care that is provided to patients. In this concept analysis, antecedent, attributes and consequences of diversity are identified. The following antecedents are: race, social economy, knowledge, gender, and education level. The attributes of diversity are individual, variety, perception, difference and civilization. The consequences of diversity are as follows; acceptance, decision making, cultural competency qualifications, respect, degrading, trusts

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” ― Maya Angelou.
The way we understand autism is that the synaptic pruning we all have in our brain does its job half way for children with autism. In return makes the brain over develop. When the brain over develops it has to many connections and pathways. So it is hard for the brain to work efficiently.
The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the diverse experiences that I have had in my personal and professional life. Fortunately, I have had a large mix of diverse friends and experiences in my life. This paper will discuss those diversities as well as the plan to expand on my current knowledge.
Shannon L. Alder once expressed, “One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” In my opinion, this quote represents diversity, which means to be unique and special. Whenever I mention about diversity, the representative place that always appears in my mind is my class. Since my school is an international school, students are mostly from different countries with their own cultural background and moreover, an original personality as well. Let me introduce the most meaningful diversity spot for me.
Diversity in classrooms can open student’s minds to all the world has to offer. At times diversity and understanding of culture, deviant experiences and perspectives can be difficult to fulfill, but with appropriate strategies and resources, it can lead students gaining a high level of respect for those unlike them, preferably than a judgmental and prejudiced view.
