The commercialisation of neurodiversity.

Bored and irritable 8 months ago

Does anybody else feel that over the last ten years or so, neurodiversity has become 'big business' and has lost its focus?

Not sure if this has been discussed already. I wonder if anyone has been able to read it - I don't have a subscription to pass the paywall. If anyone has, would be interested to know what the article says.

Haven't read this either: (please note other book retailers are available)

It's an interesting question. I don't think it has lost focus though. Just we are not living in a commercial-free vacuum.

The top is "The medicalisation of normal behaviour" - I will take half a point.

The second one. I have just brought the book and will report back with my insights.
