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.
神经多样性承认人类大脑功能的自然差异，包括自闭症、注意力缺陷多动障碍和诵读困难等情况。虽然神经差异个体在许多领域贡献了宝贵的技能，但他们在以“神经典型”规范设计的环境中往往面临挑战。本文探讨了兽医学中对神经多样性的认识有限的问题，强调了提高认识、开展研究和采取包容性做法的必要性。通过营造理解和支持性的工作场所，该行业可以更好地适应各种不同的认知优势，提高整体幸福感。接纳神经多样性对于创造一个更具包容性和公平性的专业环境至关重要。
