Imagining a neurodivergent world

If there were fewer barriers to neurodivergent contributions, how might NDs shape the world?

  • Having thought about this more, the only thing i would do is sort out the education system ,as the next generations filter through the world things would improve hopefully. No point in banging your head against a wall of ignorance.

  • If you look at the vast majority of NTs at school, they just trundle down the conveyor-belt with little additional input.    

    As we're a spectrum, how could you sort and allocate resources to us?      We'd need continuous assessment to ensure the super-brights get stretched and the more sensitive get supported.

    The challenge would be finding sufficient teachers clever enough to keep up with the genius kids.  Smiley

    You'd probably need a juvenile university for the 14-year-olds that have finished all the usual syllabus.   Smiley
