You sir are absolutely correct. My youngest son is 23 years old now and he has autism. Neuro divergence is an umbrella term for people with autism,adhd, dyslexia,ocd,tourettes, and other learning disabilities. But the word by itself is definitely not a medical label. It's just a way to respect and understand how people's brains are wired differently. I call it an ability not a disability.

I view disability as something done to us by an unaccomodating society. The problem isn’t us, it’s the barriers placed in our path. This is one of the things I teach my mentoring clients.
