GRM-120 Coding Neurodivergent

This literary research provides a look at neurodivergent individuals learning coding, specifically Python, and the struggles and benefits that come from the way their brains are wired. This literature research was conducted to look at the benefits and struggles of learning to code as a neurodivergent individual. One area that has not been studied extensively is the learning of Python, or coding in general, by neurodivergent populations. This includes the benefits a neurodivergent learner may glean from learning Python as well as the challenges they may encounter - anything which makes their experience different from that of a neurotypical Python beginner. Outcomes for which data was sought included cognitive challenges neurodivergent individuals may face (such as difficulty understanding abstract concepts or issues with motivation), ways in which the neurodivergent brain may be well-suited to learning Python, and ways in which neurodivergent populations may benefit from learning Python.
