Neuromyths are strongly held misunderstandings about the brain. They generally emerge from generalisations or distortions of the scientific data and are frequently proliferated in the media. So, while there may be a nugget of truth at their core, they can lead to misinterpretations, wasted time, effort and money. Worse still, in the case of neuromyths about neurodiversities, they have been shown to increase stigma. One of the aims of ANA is to challenge neuromyths when they arise and help increase evidence-based understanding of the brain.
