The conversation around neurodiversity is evolving from awareness to acceptance and inclusion, reflecting a growing recognition of neurodivergent individuals. However, systemic challenges remain, particularly in educational and workplace environments that often marginalize neurodivergent people despite claims of inclusion. Awareness alone does not eliminate exclusion; acceptance does not guarantee respect. The core principle proposed is NeuroDignity, emphasizing that dignity should be seen as an unconditional right rather than something earned. This foundation is critical for creating genuinely fair and inclusive spaces for neurodivergent individuals.
Awareness does not preclude exclusion. Acceptance does not ensure respect. Appreciation and celebration of talents do not guarantee fair treatment or equitable pay.
Dignity is the foundation of our humanity—equal, inherent, and non-negotiable. It cannot be earned through achievements or service.
