Neurodiversity is simply the natural variation of human brains and minds. The neurodiversity paradigm is a way of thinking that sees different minds as a natural and valuable aspect of human diversity.
This way of thinking emphasizes the social power structures that exist around neurological differences, and the ways in which social barriers and inequalities put people with disabilities at a disadvantage. This perspective does not deny that some aspects of various neurological differences can be unpleasant, and that they can include specific impairments. However, the neurodiversity paradigm looks at how society is organized in ways that make some things less accessible for certain people. Proceeds go to support services for Autistic adults
