The popular concept of Neurodiversity is as fallacious as that of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder which symptoms reflect the anxiety and depression that are present in nearly all medical and psychological concerns. The basis for considering various social symptoms as Neurodiverse rather than psychological is the disfavor which many have for considering their children to possess mental health difficulties. One mother said she would prefer her child to have a brain tumor since this could be cut out!
The notion of neurodiversity tends to be affixed to the common symptoms of autism and Asperger's Disorder, which are among the most socially debilitating of all psychological disorders. The social limitations of these youth derive from their lack of awareness of and experience with such basic human characteristics as trust, sharing and gaining warmth from others, and love. To heal these deficiencies the appropriate psychotherapeutic and social experiences must be provided.
Far greater improvement can be expected when these critical limitations are considered psychological and the result of inadequate childhood parenting experiences rather than neurological and fixed.
