What Is the Difference Between Neurodivergent and Special Needs?

It’s now imperative that we use proper labels when classifying families. So, the word “neurodivergent” is politically acceptable, but some people know it as special needs. Regardless of either definition, the bottom line is a family that has neurodivergent tendencies needs help. The most important thing to keep in mind is before the child turns 18, a special needs trust needs to be put into place to protect the child (or adult child), so they can continue getting the services that they’re eligible for without losing health insurance or financial aid.
