Résumé

La neurodiversité reconnaît les variations naturelles du fonctionnement du cerveau humain, y compris des conditions telles que l'autisme, le TDAH et la dyslexie. Bien que les personnes neurodivergentes apportent des compétences précieuses dans de nombreux domaines, elles sont souvent confrontées à des difficultés dans des environnements conçus selon des normes « neurotypiques ». Cet article explore la reconnaissance limitée de la neurodiversité en médecine vétérinaire, soulignant la nécessité d'une sensibilisation, de recherches et de pratiques inclusives accrues. En favorisant la compréhension et des lieux de travail offrant un soutien, la profession peut mieux prendre en compte diverses forces cognitives et améliorer le bien-être global. Adopter la neurodiversité est essentiel pour créer un environnement professionnel plus inclusif et équitable.

Neurodiversity acknowledges the natural variations in human brain function, including conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. While neurodivergent individuals contribute valuable skills across many fields, they often face challenges in environments designed with "neurotypical" norms. This paper explores the limited recognition of neurodiversity in veterinary medicine, highlighting the need for greater awareness, research, and inclusive practices. By fostering understanding and supportive workplaces, the profession can better accommodate diverse cognitive strengths and improve overall well-being. Embracing neurodiversity is essential for creating a more inclusive and equitable professional environment.
