“Neurodiversity may be every bit as crucial for the human race as biodiversity is for life in general.”

 

- Harvey Blume, New York Times

Autistics are distinctive individuals ranging from the physically beautiful child who appears to live in a world of his own, to the eccentric genius with remarkable abilities that defy explanation. While “experts” abound, and “cures” are desperately sought, the autistics themselves are glaringly omitted from the conversation.

Neurotypical includes, among the many voices of autistics, those who take exception to the notion of being “cured” and those who offer, through their very lives, a view of what a fulfilling life might look like. Neurotypical does not attempt to diagnose, change or find a cure for autism. Instead, it looks at the culture of autism, as a valid and unique way of being.
