The mother of neurodiversity: how Judy Singer changed the world

[niyad]

1. KNR and bookmarking. For later. I first saw the term "neuorodivergent" in,

of all surprising places, a romance novel set in the 1800's, that I read earlier this year (actully in the acknowledgements, as the author decribed creating the male leading character). It was one of those, "well, of course" moments. I thought everybody knew that everybody's brains worked and processed differently. I just did not know that there is a specific concept for it.

I mean, there are, in the scientific community, at least ten recognized genders. Of course there are many ways people's brains work. I remember reading many years ago that some believed that ADD/ADHD were adaptive, indeed advanced, survival mechanisms. The human brain is still very much uncharted territtory.
