Neurodiversity in Sports

Neurodiversity in sports is a topic that probably doesn’t get talked about as much as we need. Scroll through any of your social media accounts or emails and see what you notice. Did you notice much around the topic of neurodiversity, sports, and athletes? Did you know that there is increasing evidence that suggests autism and ADHD may occur at higher rates in athletes than in the non-athlete population (Hoare et al., 2023; Hoare et al., 2025). Given that information, why are we not talking about this topic and taking more action?!
