Explore Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity at UConn celebrates the strengths and potential of a wide variety of differently wired brains.
Some examples of the cognitive variations that fall under the neurodiversity umbrella are anxiety, autism, ADHD,
depression, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and other learning differences. We've highlighted a few of these below.

Good afternoon everyone!

It's Friday and the beginning of Spring Break! We hope that you're just as excited as us!!

It may have seemed to go by slow, but we're already halfway through the semester. And we're willing to bet that even though this is a break, you still have work you need to get done. Unfortunately, most, if not all, students have been assigned work over the break, so when we look at the week ahead of us, we tend to doubt that this will be much of a break at all.

But we do get a break from lectures and labs and classes, and that has a huge impact on our stress levels. Sometimes we just need time away from the day-in and day-out of college life.

During this week, make sure to rest a lot and enjoy the nice weather. Try not to worry about the work you need to get done, because it will get done! You need a good balance of relaxation in order to do the work. Have some leniency with yourself because you deserve it!

Good afternoon everyone! This is just a reminder that First Thursday is TONIGHT at 4:30 at the Benton/Beanery! Enjoy coffee, a live DJ, and perhaps the most important of all: therapy dogs!
