The original "Clinical setting" section at the bottom of the article was lacking information. I added two topics underneath this section to expand on it: Medicine and Healthcare & Therapy. Kassafrass ( talk) 22:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC) reply

This article is fairly cautious in its attribution in any case, but it ought to be edited to reflect this correction to the historical record: The neurodiversity concept was developed collectively: An overdue correction on the origins of neurodiversity theory

It could also be good to add a bit more on recent signs of mainstream/establishment acceptance of the idea, like this special issue of the British Psychological Society's The Psychologist (magazine), or the General Teaching Council for Scotland's professional guides.

Those are cool recent sources, thanks for sharing. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The "Unfocused" tag was placed a year ago without any talk page entry to explain its applicability. Seeing no justification in the current article content, I have removed it. WriterArtistDC ( talk) 17:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I think the tag was appropriate. The article focuses on many different subjects and is generally very messy. For example, Neurodiversity and education and Neurodiversity and the workspace seem to heavily overlap with subjects covered in Inclusion (education), Special education, and Inclusion (disability rights). These sections are more about disabilities in education and workplace settings. The article is longer than it needs to be and I feel it is overloaded with information. -- Pinecone23 ( talk) 21:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply
