Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. It’s all very well telling someone they’ve used a word like neurodiversity or neurodiverse wrongly… But does it actually matter?
In the latest episode of AFI, David and I have a look at the regular disagreements over neuro-terminology in autistic spaces, and try to find out if there is even any value in having the discussion… and why. It takes us back in time, into the history of autism self-advocacy. As usual, expect some insightful thought, some wry chuckles, and at least one short trip on the ever-present tangent train!
You can watch the video version of the podcast in the YouTube viewer below, or if you prefer your podcasts audio-only, you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Audible – links below.
That’s all for this time. Take care.
