Welcome again.....and perhaps you could cut and paste your other post for context in here too.
I'll leave you alone now - I'm feeling like a right frigging busybody = not how I want nor intend to project myself.
In terms of the point you raise, I'm afraid that my feelings are aligned with the wise words of Plastic on this type of matter - ie we must be VERY careful just how many "special interest" groups we try to define and then offer legal protections and safeguards to for fear of such mechanisms becoming meaningless by their universality. I'm not sure how one would set about defining "neuro diversity" for the purpose you want it for. Just my opinion.
Best wishes for your feedback from others.
Number.
Thank you yes this is tremendously useful feedback.
Neurodiversity in this context is a subset of Biodiversity.
The goal is to protect not only disabled people but also people whose environment is disabling them and who might not perceive themselves as disabled.
It also should raise awareness about traits and triggers within the environment. Which is why I ask for an intersectional approach to disability and relationship to the environment be it physical cultural social economic or political.
Understood, I just think the complexity and universality of these issues (both for NT and ND folk) render the proposition unweildy. But again, I do wish you well and admire your pursuit of your own convictions.
The dark tetrad? Which dr who villain is that? :p
Spot on. Apologies if I can't explain myself better but as this relates to lived experience it is very hard to abstract.
It seems really hard to manage when there is covert abuse and gossip and people getting targeted.
Forgive me, I don't understand the point you are making..."what" seems really hard to manage?...and "who" is getting targeted, and targeted for what?
It seems that The Flower Umbrella is referring to the difficulty of dealing with people secretly starting demeaning rumours against one or more others ~ as a means to socially segregate, humiliate and violate them psychologically or also physiologically, for the sake of decreasing their target's credibility and thereby further increasing their own as a powerful individual or group of individuals.

There are many studies into this.
Thank you for sharing ! I found one study between the dark tetrad and a link to entrepreneurial behaviour...

ND also includes the dark tetrad in your view ?
For those who have no knowledge of the 'Dark Tetrad' as being: Psychopathy, Machiavellianism, Sadism, and Narcissism ~ here follows the abstract and link to the summarised article 'Examining the Dark Tetrad and Its Links to Cyberbullying':
The is light and dark in us all, for sure, whether NT, ND or any other concoction of classification one might choose, in my opinion.
Anyways many thanks for your feedback !
ND also includes the dark tetrad in your view ? Some traits need to be managed, traits that can lead to abusive behaviour. If we are looking at the dichotomy of NT Vs ND is the dark tetrad ND or NT ? I think most people are hybrids and different traits will come out or be perceived based on the intersectional environment (cultural, political, economic, physical and social ). From my personal experience most people act out of ignorance but there should be a way of protection of those who are suffering from bullying even if they don't see themselves as being targeted based on a disability or as the current act puts it " mental impairment".
