Based on the following extract, introversion might be one form of neurodivergence. Compared to those listed, it is more benign and less 'pathological' than others. Schizophrenics can be highly extroverted and oddly gregarious, thus an opposite to introversion. Introversion might be related to reduced or minimized socialization.

What is considered neurodivergent? (AI Overview: )
Neurodivergence refers to neurological differences, like those found in conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and dyslexia, that are considered natural variations of the human brain. It's a concept that acknowledges that there's no single "correct" way for a brain to function, and that differences in cognition, learning, and behavior are part of the natural diversity of human experience.
In simpler terms: Neurodivergence is about recognizing that people have different ways of thinking, learning, and processing information, and that these differences are not necessarily problems to be fixed, but rather valuable variations.
Examples of conditions often associated with neurodivergence:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Involves challenges with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Learning Disabilities: Include conditions like dyslexia (difficulty with reading), dyscalculia (difficulty with math), and dysgraphia (difficulty with writing).

Tourette Syndrome: A neurological disorder characterized by tics, involuntary movements or vocalizations.

Other Conditions: Can include conditions like Down syndrome, epilepsy, and certain mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Key Points about Neurodivergence:

Neurodiversity as a concept: It's a shift away from viewing these differences as deficits and towards embracing them as natural variations in the human brain.

Not a diagnosis: Neurodivergence itself is not a diagnosis, but rather a term used to describe a range of conditions and ways of experiencing the world.

Focus on strengths and challenges: Neurodivergent individuals can have unique strengths and challenges, and understanding these differences is important for supporting their well-being and maximizing their potential.

Importance of inclusion:
The neurodiversity movement advocates for greater understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of neurodivergent individuals in all aspects of society.
