How Common is Neurodivergence?

[image id: poster of "How Common is Neurodivergence?.” There are 12 circles and five small images: an image of a brain, speech bubbles, an infinity sign, a person reading, and a person surrounded by arrows and balls. Each of the 12 circles has a percentage representing how common a particular form of neurodivergence is written in Open Dyslexic font. Full transcript, more information, and references under the cut.]

More Information

Forms of neurodivergence represented here are focused on neurodevelopmental disorders.

These percentages are representative of percentage in general population and do not reflect percentages within neurotypes which are often higher due to co-occurrence being the norm, rather than the exception, within neurodevelopmental disorders; for example, 33-45% of people with ADHD will also have dyslexia (Butterworth & Kovas, 2013), whereas only 10% of the general population are dyslexic (British Dyslexia Association [BDA], 2023).

Certain neurodivergencies are often underrepresented and under-reported, so the percentages are likely to be higher; for example, one study suggests that rates for FASD in the UK may be as high as 17% (McQuire et al., 2019).

Some of the neurodivergencies represented here are umbrella terms and percentages given are representative of all forms of neurodiversity belonging to that term; for example, SpLds include dyslexia which is at a rate of 10% (BDA, 2023) and dyscalculia which is at 3-7% (Haberstroh & Schulte-Körne., 2019). Tic Disorders at 1% are another example here, as this is inclusive of Tourette Syndrome which is at 0.6%, and around 1 in 5 individuals exhibit tics at some point during childhood (Cavanna et al., 2017).

One study by researcher Jorge Cuartas and his co-authors found that spanking undermines feelings of safety, and promotes hypervigilance. They found that children who were spanked were more attuned to potential threats, and which even included neutral faces. In other words, these children were more likely to be constantly monitoring the facial expressions of others, feeling on edge, and easily thrown into dysregulation if someone else seemed unhappy — even if it was simply the absence of a happy facial expression. One of the authors of the study compared it to the impact of sexual abuse, showing a change in how the brain processes the world, undermining and eroding a sense of safety: ‘You see the same reactions in the brain…Those consequences potentially affect the brain in areas often engaged in emotional regulation and threat detection, so that children can respond quickly to threats in the environment.’

BRITISH WIZARD "PRINCE" TO GET DIVORCED

Draco Malfoy separates from wife of six-years, Astoria Greengrass

London. (2007) . The new year isn't off to a good start for Draco Mafoy, head of Malfoy Foundation, inherited member of the wizengamot and SpAd on dark magic artefacts. According to Malfoy’s lawyer and former classmate Theodore W. Nott, "Astoria and Draco Malfoy decided to end their marriage but remain united in raising their son, Scorpius, in an amicable co-parenting situation. Astoria will continue to work for the Malfoy Foundation. No further details will be given".

For some lonely witches (or wizards) this might be good news, as Mr Malfoy is widely considered to be one of the richest wizards of the country. Prior to his marriage he topped the most-eligible-bachelor list and it has been rumored that the song “My grey-eyed lonely Prince”, by Patty Swift, was written about him.

Statement from Theodore W. Nott, Attorney at Wizarding Law, Spokesperson for the Malfoy Foundation

February 14, 2007

“On behalf of my client, Mr. D.L. Malfoy, I am urging the magic media to stop spreading rumors of a romantic relationship between Mr. D.L. Malfoy and Mr. H. J. Potter. They are neither in a relationship nor are they raising Ted Lupin together. Mr. Malfoy does not care about the gay part, but is hurt that nobody seems to think he could do better than Potter”.
