You may be right. I’ve recently come across posts which use both #neurodivergent and #austism in the same sentence, implying therefore that these terms refer to two distinct categories or conditions. And where does synestesia fit, if at all? I’ve become so confused. I have more learning to do obviously and I can only do this by stating and showing my ignorance.
Happy for you, or anyone else to shut me down as is your right.

To put it Uta Frith’s perspective in contrast with those diagnosed and living experience, I think you should also read the following:
As the hashtag makes quite clear #NothingWithoutUs.
(Disclaimer: I have not be diagnosed as #Neurodivergent )
“The autism spectrum has widened to the point of collapse, affecting how teachers should support autistic pupils in the classroom,” researcher Uta Frith tells Helen Amass in a recent interview, and my response as a late-diagnosed Autistic adult.

In 2024 alone, 3.2M people with disabilities received WFP's assistance in #Afghanistan. Inclusion isn’t optional - it’s effective programming.
WFP has made big strides in disability inclusion — but the journey continues. Every person deserves food security. Every person counts.

Just watching Jeremy Andrew Davis speaking at the ‘Autism from the Inside’ summit
I like his extension of the disability activists’ mantra ‘Nothing about us without us’:
Nothing about us without us *in charge*! 👍
He also references another person’s variation as the end goal:
Nothing ––––––– without us! ☺️

@heathen When I did assessments on 4 different adaptive recreation programs over 3 yrs ago - marked out over 50 points of things missed by able bodied people.
They need to include us in consultations - right from the very starts! #NothingWithoutUs #InclusivityNeedsDisabledVoices #AssBackwardsAbleBodiedShit
