noun neurodiversities
- The variety of configurations of the brain, especially with regard to autism. For me, the significance of the "Autistic Spectrum" lies in its call for and anticipation of a "Politics of Neurodiversity". […] The rise of Neurodiversity takes postmodern fragmentation one step further.
