Exploring Neurodiversity and Invisible Disabilities - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Everyone perceives and interacts with the world differently. That’s what makes us human. Exploring Neurodiversity and Invisible Disabilities unpacks the relationship between people labelled as “abnormal” and the societal attitudes toward associated mental health disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Terms such as “neurological minorities” have led the way in reducing stigma toward many mental illnesses and reframing discussions to make the language more inclusive. Yet today, there exist many barriers for people labelled as neurotypical or neurodivergent in schools, institutes of higher education, and workplaces that this book aims to address. Further understanding of different invisible disabilities through research and diversity and inclusion efforts can pave the road to not only accommodating vulnerable groups but also implementing culturally-inclusive frameworks for people to achieve their full potential.
