'''Neurodiversity''', also known as '''neurodivergence''', is the concept that people with [[autism]], [[ADHD]], [[OCD]], [[dyslexia]] and sometimes even [[epilepsy]] are not "disordered", but rather have these conditions as a result of natural variations in the brain and that medical professionals and general society are the problem in considering these conditions disorders. The movement (also called the autism "rights" movement) mainly focuses on autism, and like all [[leftist]] movements, it has been known to harass and [[cyberbullying|cyberbully]] people who disagree with them (including autistic people), as well as autism professionals and parents of autistic children.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://aeon.co/essays/why-the-neurodiversity-movement-has-become-harmful|title=Why the neurodiversity movement has become harmful|publisher=aeon.co}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://theautismcafe.com/the-dangers-of-the-neurodiversity-movement/|title=Autism and the limits of the neurodiversity movement}}</ref><ref name=":3">https://www.deviantart.com/shernod9704/art/Response-to-MichelleE2001-904432032</ref>

'''Neurodiversity''', also known as '''neurodivergence''', is the concept that people with conditions such as (but not limited to) [[autism]], [[ADHD]], [[OCD]], [[dyslexia]] and [[epilepsy]] are not "disordered", but rather have these conditions as a result of natural variations in the brain and that general society are the problem in considering these conditions disorders or otherwise villainizing these individuals. The movement (also called the autism "rights" movement) mainly focuses on autism, although it is not solely focused on such.

==Doctrine==

The neurodiversity movement labels anyone with any of the above listed disorders as "neurodivergent", although people with autism are the main target. They usually strongly oppose "person-first language" (i.e. "person with autism") in favor of "identity-first language" (i.e. "autistic person"), always capitalizing "Autistic", because they treat autism as if it is equivalent to national heritage and as being a major component of a person's identity. They consider person-first language to "accessorize" autism, although they do this themselves by considering autism a "gift" and an "identity" and creating an "autism pride" movement and day. Neurodiversity advocates are vehemently against any kinds of cures or treatments for autism (most notably [[ABA therapy]]), comparing it to [[eugenics]] (and typical of liberals, Nazis and Hitler) and considering it to be abuse in all circumstances, even if the client wants a treatment or cure, enjoys the therapy or makes progress. However, their "activism" only focuses on those with "high-functioning" autism (such as [[Asperger syndrome]]), completely ignores those with "moderate-" to "low-functioning" autism and opposes the use of these labels, although the disorder is a spectrum and symptoms and their severity vary widely across the spectrum. They are also known perpetrators of [[cancel culture]]<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CVk-18HPkhN/|title="Cringe culture harms neurodivergent people"}}</ref>. Most if not all neurodiversity supporters support self-diagnosis and some claim to have "diagnosed" their own autism. Many support other [[social justice warrior|SJW]] movements such as [[Black Lives Matter]] and [[feminism]], and it is common for them to identify with fake genders and/or use neopronouns.

They are not known perpetrators of [[cancel culture]]<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CVk-18HPkhN/|title="Cringe culture harms neurodivergent people"}}</ref>, because [[cancel culture]] does not exist, and is a made-up boogeyman for [[conserative|conservatives]] to hide behind. Most if not all neurodiversity supporters support self-diagnosis and some claim to have "diagnosed" their own autism, as most people are able to understand their own psyche to an extent. Many support other [[social justice warrior|SJW]] movements such as [[Black Lives Matter]] and [[feminism]], and it is common for them to identify with atypical genders and/or use neopronouns. This is okay, because it does not hurt you.

Neurodiversity advocates are easily found on Tumblr, [[Instagram]], [[DeviantART]] and other leftist social media sites, often using the hashtag #ActuallyAutistic and tags that glamorize autism such as #AutismIsBeautiful.

==Bullying==

==Bullying==

Neurodiversity advocates, like other social justice warriors, harass, cyberbully and verbally attack anyone who disagrees with them or says anything negative about their movement or autism itself<ref name=":3"/>, calling them "ableist", in the same manner that Black Lives Matter supporters call opponents [[racism|racists]] and feminists call opponents [[misogyny|misogynists]]. They often resort to this childish behavior instead of presenting valid arguments for their movement (another characteristic of SJWs), and some even go so far as to make personal attacks or tell their opponent to commit suicide. An Australian mother of autistic children wrote a post venting of caregiver frustration and the fact that the disorder interferes with her children's quality of life and stated that she hated autism; she was met with death threats, was told that she didn't deserve to be a mother and was even drawn hanging from a puzzle piece.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncsautism.org/blog//hate-autism-every-inch|title=I hate autism. I hate it with every inch of my being.}}</ref><ref name=":2"/> Neurodiversity supporters also often complain about and make fun of "neurotypicals" (people without autism or other mental disorders), and some even claim that autistic people are superior over neurotypicals because of special talents that come with high-functioning autism such as enhanced memory.<ref name=":6">https://www.deviantart.com/shernod9704/art/Autistic-Supermacy-flag-1-560029738?comment=1%3A560029738%3A4961346557</ref>

Neurodivergent individuals are often the target and victim of bullying, such as the brain-dead ramblings of washed-up has-beens and never-will-be's that were on this very page.
