PMID 36259512WHAT IT FOUND
This article is a theoretical essay about neurodivergent researchers reclaiming their own narratives in academia.
It contains no clinical findings or patient outcomes, so it offers no evidence to change how you assess or treat patients.
What this paper is
This is a theoretical and autoethnographical essay discussing the challenges neurodivergent researchers face in academia and proposing new methods for collaborative storytelling. It reports no clinical outcomes, patient data, or intervention results, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the authors' personal experiences or proposed research methodologies as evidence that a specific clinical intervention works or fails. This is a philosophical discussion about academic culture and identity, not a study of patient outcomes.
