Neurdiversity – Disability, Acceptance & Cultural Divergence

Am I understanding Neurdiversity in applied sociopolitical manifestions correctly?

The topic of acceptance has never been clear enough in context to neurdiversity. From a cultural standpoint we see diversity as it is exists regardless of prognoses or stereotypically perceived defect. Negative cultural judgments are not even atypically the result of ignorance, intolerance or malicious intent but a lack of merging within groups thus integrating the diversity. However the typical world accepts a certain normal functionability otherwise perceives disorder and relating disease. Moreover if from a purely cultural standpoint that embraces differences by making room for those with these differences while it would not cure the difference it then would embrace it without judgment stemming from the superiority complex of typicality. Moreover a perceived defect is then judged to be merely a difference even if by choice treatments to improve adaptions by choice were still being sought by applicable individuals of differences.

With that said I would like to encourage the discussion of Neurdiversity from a purely sociocultural standpoint and not that of antiestablishmentism agenda's. Neurdiversity does not stem from antiestablishmentism but that of the preservation of what is without concern to eliminating what has not become yet such as abortion or destroying differences for the sake of requiring normalcy as diversity is comprised of abnormalities coexisting with one another. So therefore normal is impossible in a strict sense but diversity implies the inclusion of a vast collective of differences. Albeit functional adaptability is mutually enhanced if individuals choose to correct adverse abnormality so to improve functionability but so does acceptance of differences which may many times not limit but enhance functionalism if psycho-socially a functional abnormality was manifest. What I mean to say is if someone is disabled we embrace their individuality and what can be helped should then be helped if preventing inclusion into so called normalcy from a purely functional standpoint when chosen but otherwise neurodiversity comprises the acceptance of perceived abnormality.

The construct of social and psychical manifestations. Nothing new here just some made up words that are growing in popularity. Research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes for some somewhat relating study. There are no clear definitions for the words below and maybe I mixed them up.

Ideopathology – The study of ideas and concepts within systems and frameworks and how they effect the psyche, multiply and the reasons by which they have existed beyond the original manifestion.

Coceptology – The study of concepts within systems and frameworks of ideas within context to the applied functionalism therof and relating variations or sub-frameworks. We can view concepts and ideas as manifestions within a preexisting frameworks and then branching out from there.

Conceptomotology – How concepts relate to one another relatively as if symptoms within a psychological, theological and or cultural framework as manifested. We can view a symptom of normality then the same as a symptom of abnormality.

Yawn. Sometimes I do not make sense. The made up words should be ignored unless you have heard of them before or are into the nature of concepts within thought processes. Also I think I found a few spelling problems already. Can we just talk about neurodiversity?

As a result of neurodiversity being used to confront research agenda's and at times tied with abortion and religious agenda's at this time I am choosing not to use the phraseology in public awareness. Instead the more broad term of human diversity and cultural diversity will be used. A simple differentiation between science and culture in awareness is pretty much assumable. Culturally however the negative connotation to diversity as one is still yet stems from elimination politics or pathology in so many words but I do not believe this to be malicious in origination. In mainstream inclusion awareness I have to begin with the purest forms of intent rather then that of conceptualisms that can be perceived having to do with unrelated adversity. I'd hope some neurodiversity folks could contact me privately or on this forum to help me better understand the politics which surround this concept which has been used for adversity agenda's no matter who is right or wrong.

Any input is welcome and do please share your thoughts.

It begins in the classroom. Children need to be taught at an early age, that there are many different types of people living in the world, with different personalities and abilities. Teachers much teach their students that every person should be accepted no matter what their differences are, as long as they don't hurt anybody, or break the law. If teachers and parents would teach their kids to cherish diversity of many kinds, than people on the spectrum as well as many others will be accepted into their communities in the years to come.

Yes in general. School can be a very terrible place for some. I think much progress for bullying has been done in the past three years? I think a special emphasis on developmental disabilities should be done as well. Where I live a kid called a participant in a work group doing work onsite next to a middle school a "R" word. The agency I work with then did assembly speaking at local schools about it. It's always good to mix in humor and that is what happened. Even two news stories resulted.
