'''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>

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.

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.
