I know I'm nickpicking---but you should have included ALL people on the Spectrum in your poll:

Kanner-Classic Autism is on the Spectrum as well--these people are neurodiverse according to all definitions.

Interesting question, though, All non-autistic people are usually considered to be neurotypical within the context of this website.

However, I believe neurodiversity could possibly cover other conditions (e.g., schizophrenia). We have to redefine what "neurodiverse" actually means.

I read recently that the term "neurodiversity" is meant to cover all that are neurologically different, including Dyslexia, ADHD, etc.
