Dear David,
This is goods news, and the website is an interesting resource.
I arrived yesterday from an european capital where one of the private schools,
for children of rich high achievers, is called Brains. This makes me reflect
on your definition of neurodiversity that it appears to focus on the brain and
I quote:
"The term neurodiversity encompasses types of brain..."
The brain can be put on a table, sectioned and analysed easily so mainstream
contemporary health sciences tend to separate the "neuro" of the brain from the
"neuro" of the rest of the body.
The name brainhe and neurodiversity might be contradictory as by focusing on the
brain, the diversity of the wholebody "neuro" may become impoverished.
All the best,
