Abstract

A new study from the University of Wisconsin Madison challenges the terms "neurodiverse" and "neurotypical" in relation to autism spectrum disorder. The study argues that these terms promote a cognitive approach that overlooks the complexity of human activity in everyday life.

The study has been peer-reviewed and is available for further reading. [Extracted from the article]
