> This article was amended on 30 April 2021 to remove a reference to Alan Turing having been dyslexic. Turing, though an example of GCHQ’s past neurodiversity, has not been proven to have had dyslexia. Piddling pedantic point here but in what way was Turing neurodiverse, exactly? I mean, beyond the way in which each and every one of us is neurodiverse by having a unique brain? While there's some speculation (as with for every famous person in history) about Asperger's or dyslexia, I've never seen the claim made strongly, or with much in the way of evidence. He probably wasn't autistic or dyslexic, at least not to a degree that would meet a clinical definition. And he did not seem to have had particularly serious social difficulties, beyond those caused by erotic attractions incompatible with the mores of the times, so... in what way was he neurodiverse? Extreme mathematical brilliance is certainly not typical. Is that a form of neurodiversity? But then what would neurodiverse even mean at that point? Cynically it seems to be edging into the territory of buzzword without definition. And presumably, the far opposite, being utterly incapable of noticing even glaringly obvious patterns, would also be an example of neurodiversity. Yet no one ever seems to mention that side of it.
