Neurodiversity Notes (Full version)

These are some copy/paste notes for personal reference.

Background

Neurodiversity is the idea that it is normal and acceptable for people to have brains that function differently from one another.

Neurodiversity embraces the differences in brain function and behavioral traits as a natural element of how diverse the human population is rather than thinking there is something wrong or problematic when some people do not operate similarly to others.
