Let's Stop Calling Some People Diverse. We're All Diverse.

When someone tells me they have a learning disability or a cognitive disorder, what that tells me is they find it hard to do things that are important to them.

Often a professional diagnostician has given a professional diagnosis. Sometimes they've identified with a published description of behaviors that have been assigned a name. While I know what all those names mean --I've been in the field my entire adult life -- they aren't helpful. While they may for some, accurately identify a problem: dyslexia for example, they are very loosely connected to the solution.
