(Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images) Sport and athletes like Simone Biles, Lewis Hamilton and Lucy Bronze can play a key role in reframing attitudes on neurodiversity, writes Matt Readman.Earlier this month Wes Streeting announced a review into how the UK is currently diagnosing mental health conditions, jumping on the bandwagon of those questioning whether normal feelings have become “over-pathologised”. Part of this review will include a closer look at neurodiversity, and in particular ADHD and autism.According to NHS England data, diagnoses of both these conditions have almost tripled in the last decade. This has led to claims that we are unnecessarily over-diagnosing neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, which saw Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims increase by 20 per cent last year alone.\n\nNo one is doubting that ADHD and autism, in their more extreme forms, can have life-debilitating consequences or make stable employment extremely difficult. But it’s also true that many people with these conditions go on to achieve huge success, and that neurodiversity can even help them do so.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI worry that neurodiversity is being seen as a growing societal concern. Even the word diagnosis is unhelpful. It immediately assumes the discovery of a problem. For many, neurodiversity isn’t a problem; it’s a point of difference. In a competitive world, that difference can be an advantage.Working in a creative industry, I’m surrounded by brilliant people with neurodivergent minds, particularly ADHD. Many of these colleagues only discovered this later in life. Studies show a strong correlation between ADHD and creativity, yet this is rarely the narrative we get to hear or read about.It’s time to reframe how we see neurodiversity. We should be encouraging more people to understand how their mind works, not making them wait years for a formal diagnosis. \n\nResearch suggests that around 750,000 adults in the UK live with undiagnosed autism, while estimates for ADHD rise to around 2m. These people won’t all need government support, but understanding their brain could help many of them excel even more.Stephen Fry has been a vocal advocate for brains that work in different ways, claiming that neurotypical equals boring. Society needs minds that work differently, and we should be celebrating that rather than seeing rising numbers as some kind of national crisis.How sport and athletes can helpThis is where sport can play a role. Sport is the ultimate competitive environment, where athletes are constantly searching for any possible advantage over their opponents. In this intense arena, neurodivergent athletes can often excel.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.12","shortVersion":"4.35.12","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2593812433","isCrawlerRequest":true}
