On why it’s important to shift from the pathology paradigm to the neurodiversity paradigm.
When it comes to neurodiversity the DSM-5 classifies autism as a disorder which implies that someone doesn’t function “normal”. When we shift that change to neurodiversity paradigm we look at neurodiversity as a natural and valuable form of human diversity, where there is no “normal” or “right”.
