“…65 Further, as Chapman highlights, clinicians may also find the concept 'neurotype dysphoria' useful for understanding neurodivergent distress while moving away from a pathologizing perspective of neurominorities. 45 Future research should focus on cultivating neurodivergent pride and affirmation in therapeutic practice to enable neurodivergent thriving, not just among autistic people but among neurominorities more broadly.…”

“…Relatedly, Chapman suggested the concept of 'neurotype dysphoria' to acknowledge how an individual's goals or identity may clash with their neurotype (whether neurotypical or neurodivergent). 45 For instance, an autistic teenager might want to be someone who thrives at neurotypical dominated house parties despite such environments being potentially stifling given their neurotype. In the clinical context, this concept may be helpful for exploring how some neurodivergent people associate harms with their neurotype while refraining from pathologizing the neurotype itself.…”

The neurodiversity movement is a social movement that emerged among autistic self‐advocates. It has since spread and has been joined by many with diagnoses of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and developmental coordination disorder among others. By reconceptualizing neurodiversity as part of biodiversity, neurodiversity proponents emphasize the need to develop an ‘ecological’ society that supports the conservation of neurological minorities through the construction of ecological niches—that is, making space for all. This is an alternative to the drive to eliminate diversity through attempts to ‘treat’ or ‘cure’ neurodivergence. So far, neurodiversity theory has not been formally adapted for psychotherapeutic frameworks, and it is not the role of the therapist to make systemic changes to societal organization. Still, there is room for fruitfully drawing on a neurodiversity perspective for therapists working with neurodivergent people in clinical settings. Here, we draw on the example of autism and synthesize three key themes to propose the concept of neurodivergence‐informed therapy. First, the reconceptualization of dysfunction as relational rather than individual. Second, the importance of neurodivergence acceptance and pride, and disability community and culture to emancipate neurodivergent people from neuro‐normativity. Third, the need for therapists to cultivate a relational epistemic humility regarding different experiences of neurodivergence and disablement.
