Vishnu Kk Nair, Warda Farah, Mildred Boveda
PMID 39305198WHAT IT FOUND
This article critiques the academic field of neurodiversity for ignoring Indigenous knowledge and racialized experiences.
It contains no clinical data, patient outcomes, or therapy techniques, so it does not change how you treat patients.
What this paper is
This is a theoretical commentary arguing that neurodiversity scholarship is dominated by Global Northern perspectives and lacks intersectional analysis of race. It reports no patients, no interventions, and no clinical outcomes, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
