A recent meta-analysis examined the link between left-handedness and several conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, suggesting that left-handed individuals are more common in neurodiverse and neurodivergent populations. Neurodiversity refers to a self-identified spectrum of brain differences perceived by individuals, historically associated mainly with autism but extending to ADHD and dyslexia. The study published in Psychological Bulletin investigates the nuances of how left-handedness may relate to these neurodiverse conditions, exploring the brain's organizational differences between left- and right-handed individuals.
Neurodiversity and neurodivergence describe individuals who perceive their brains as "different" from a typical human brain, often overlapping with conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.
Approximately 10.6% of the population is left-handed, raising questions about whether left-handedness is more prevalent among neurodiverse and neurodivergent individuals.
