The neurodiversity concept was developed collectively: An overdue correction on the origins of neurodiversity theory / Monique BOTHA in Autism, 28-6 (June 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-6 (June 2024) . - p.1591-1594 Titre : The neurodiversity concept was developed collectively: An overdue correction on the origins of neurodiversity theory Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Monique BOTHA, Auteur ; Robert CHAPMAN, Auteur ; Morénike GIWA ONAIWU, Auteur ; Steven K. KAPP, Auteur ; Abs STANNARD ASHLEY, Auteur ; Nick WALKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1591-1594 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism rights  autistic activism  critical neurodiversity studies  neurodiversity  neurodiversity history  neurodiversity movement Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We, an international group of autistic scholars of autism and neurodiversity, discuss recent findings on the origins of the concept and theorising of neurodiversity. For some time, the coinage and theorising of the concept of 'neurodiversity' has been attributed to Judy Singer. Singer wrote an Honours thesis on the subject in 1998, focused on autistic activists and allies in the autistic community email list Independent Living (InLv). This was revised into a briefer book chapter, published in 1999. Despite the widespread attribution to Singer, the terms 'neurological diversity' and 'neurodiversity' were first printed in 1997 and 1998, respectively, in the work of the journalist Harvey Blume, who himself attributed them not to Singer but rather to the online community of autistic people, such as the 'Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical'. Recently, Martijn Dekker reported a 1996 discussion in which one InLv poster, Tony Langdon, writes of the 'neurological diversity of people. i.e. the atypical among a society provide the different perspectives needed to generate new ideas and advances, whether they be technological, cultural, artistic or otherwise'. Going forward, we should recognise the multiple, collective origins of the neurodiversity concept rather than attributing it to any single author. Lay abstract This letter discusses the origins of the concept and theory of neurodiversity. It is important to correctly attribute concept and theories to the people who developed them. For some time, the concept of neurodiversity has primarily been attributed to one person, Judy Singer. We consider the available evidence and show that the concept and theory in fact has multiple origins. We draw particular attention to recent archival findings that show the concept of 'neurological diversity' was being used years earlier than previously thought. 'Neurodiversity' means the same thing as 'neurological diversity' and does not change the theory in any way. We conclude that both the concept of neurological diversity or neurodiversity, and the body of theory surrounding it, should be understood as having been collectively developed by neurodivergent people.

The history of behavioral intervention has understandably outraged many in the Autistic community, though many still value supports focused on quality of life. This commentary argues that Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) hold promise for bridging the gap between early intervention and the neurodiversity movement. However, we recognize NDBIs have much room to grow and suggest multiple strategies for improvement. We believe these updates are not only feasible for clinicians and researchers to implement but will ultimately lead to improved quality of life for Autistic individuals.

The Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire: Development and Initial Validation / Rachel K. SCHUCK in Autism, 28-11 (November 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-11 (November 2024) . - p.2821 - 2833 Titre : The Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire: Development and Initial Validation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rachel K. SCHUCK, Auteur ; Sunghee CHOI, Auteur ; Kaitlynn M.P. BAIDEN, Auteur ; Patrick DWYER, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVIĆ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2821 - 2833 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attitudes  helping professionals  instrument development  neurodiversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Neurodiversity refers to the idea that all brains-no matter their differences-are valuable and should be accepted. Attitudes toward the neurodiversity perspective can have real-life impacts on the lives of neurodivergent people, from effects on daily interactions to how professionals deliver services for neurodivergent individuals. In order to identify negative attitudes toward neurodiversity and potentially intervene to improve them, we first need to measure these attitudes. This article describes the development and initial validation of the Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire (NDAQ), including item revision based on expert review, cognitive interviews, systematic evaluation of participants' response process, and analysis of the instrument?s internal factor structure using exploratory structural equation modeling. Pilot analysis with 351 individuals mostly living in the United States who were currently working in or intending to pursue helping professions indicates that the NDAQ has construct validity, is well understood by participants, and fits a five-factor structure. While the NDAQ represents the first instrument designed to specifically assess attitudes toward the neurodiversity perspective, further validation work is still needed. Lay Abstract Neurodiversity refers to the idea that brain differences (including disabilities) are valuable and should be accepted. Attitudes toward neurodiversity can have real-life impacts on the lives of neurodivergent people (those whose brains do not fit society?s "standard"). These impacts can include effects on daily interactions, as well as how professionals such as teachers and doctors deliver services to neurodivergent people. In order to identify negative attitudes toward neurodiversity and potentially improve them, we first need to measure these attitudes. This article describes the development of the Neurodiversity Attitudes Questionnaire (NDAQ). NDAQ development included revision of questionnaire items based on feedback from experts and neurodivergent people, systematically evaluating the way participants responded to questionnaire items, and analysis of how the NDAQ items are grouped into different factors. A preliminary analysis with 351 individuals mostly living in the United States who were currently working or planning to work in a helping profession (e.g. doctors, teachers, therapists, and so on) indicates that the NDAQ measures attitudes toward neurodiversity, is well understood by participants, and fits a five-factor structure. While the NDAQ represents the first instrument designed to specifically assess attitudes toward the broad idea of neurodiversity, further work is still needed.

Advancing the understanding of mental health in autistic youth: Implications from developmental psychopathology and neurodiversity perspectives / Sharada G. KRISHNAN in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 128 (October 2025) . - p.202717 Titre : Advancing the understanding of mental health in autistic youth: Implications from developmental psychopathology and neurodiversity perspectives Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharada G. KRISHNAN, Auteur ; Gael I. ORSMOND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202717 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Mental health  Developmental psychopathology  Neurodiversity  Strengths-based approaches  Resilience  Children and youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic youth experience disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression, which often persist into adulthood and impact quality of life. Despite growing attention, research on mental health in autistic youth has not been consistently grounded in explicit theoretical frameworks. We review two theoretical perspectives—developmental psychopathology and the neurodiversity paradigm—that can enrich an understanding of mental health in autistic youth and guide future research in this area. A developmental psychopathology perspective focuses on the dynamic interactions among risk, protective, and promotive factors that influence mental health, while the neurodiversity paradigm frames autism as a valued form of human diversity and centers lived experiences, strengths, and contextual barriers. We first trace the historical contributions of developmental psychopathology to autism research and examine tensions between this body of work and the neurodiversity paradigm. We then explore how a developmental psychopathology perspective, when focused specifically on mental health in autistic youth, and the neurodiversity paradigm can be integrated to advance mental health research across three areas: (1) the measurement of mental health outcomes, (2) the identification of risk, protective, and promotive factors, and (3) the impact of traumatic experiences on resilience and mental health. Leveraging the strengths of both a developmental psychopathology perspective and the neurodiversity paradigm can advance a more theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous, and neurodiversity-informed research agenda aligned with the priorities of the autistic community.
