When You Say Neurodiversity, Who Are You Really Talking About?
We like to think “neurodiversity” includes everyone — but in reality, some neurodivergent communities are unintentionally left out. As the movement grows, a clear pattern has emerged: the same shield that protects and expands rights for some can also, unintentionally, become a barrier for others.
In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores how and why this happens, drawing on lived experience, real-world examples, and the evolution of the neurodiversity movement. You’ll hear how well-meaning advocacy can create blind spots, why certain groups remain underrepresented, and what’s at stake if we don’t get it right.
If we want true neuroinclusion, it’s not enough to open the door — we have to make sure no one gets left standing outside.
