Is there a “normal” way to perceive, to think, to relate, and to act? The neurodiversity movement challenges us to abandon the standard view of
cognitive differences (including autism, ADHD, intellectual disability) as deficits in need of remediation and instead to see them as a valuable
part of natural human variation. It encourages us to think about ways society can accommodate neurodivergent people rather than insisting
that neurodivergent people change to fit into society. In this course, we will consider the origins and critiques of the neurodiversity movement,
why it has taken root (or has it?), and what meaningful inclusion for neurodivergent people might look like.
