What does it mean to be neurodiversity affirmative?

I happened upon this recent article, on the website of The British Psychological Society, and thought it was well worth sharing.

  • I think it can be, when you consider that there are people who are unable to do common tasks. I feel like my problem is that people sense that you accomplish the same things a different way, and they can't stand that. They think you're bizarre, and they will have nothing to do with you, even though you can perform all of the same overall activities.
