benefit the bottom line or the mission of the venture or business that these folks are employed by.
It's not an either or, it's really an and both.
And so I'm optimistic and inspired by that trend.
yeah, I don't think people have any idea what they're talking about when they, when they say a word, it often in, in, in medical or medicalized settings in which I, um, uh, encompass, uh, not all, but, but some, uh,
therapeutic settings, psychiatric relationships, and that whole continuum of helping professions.
And again, that's not a malicious thing on the part of the folks who are using that language, aspiring to be that.
I believe they are.
And the reason I say I don't think...
people have an authentic or deep understanding of what that means is that the whole discipline, the whole discipline of the helping professions, the discipline of sort of brain experts,
has not done the real deep work to extricate the profession and the knowledge that the profession is based on from deeply held ableist beliefs, deficit model approaches, and pathologizing of human difference.
I mean, that is decades of...
institutionalized textbooks and classes and lectures and studies designed to affirm or based on the notion of the normal brain, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
And it's only in the last decade, maybe two decades on the fringe on the fringes of mainstream, um, science that, uh, that discourse is, has been challenged, uh,
And so I want to start with really having people dig deep and understand the own inherited set of constructs around brain differences or deficiencies.
That's where we have to start.
We have to start with understanding...
That history, we have to understand that that wasn't like preordained to be, meaning there was another path for the knowledge power, which is a Foucaultian term of psychiatry, psychology.
There were also other tributaries at the time.
that we're trying to go a different direction, that we're cut off by the American Psychological Association, et cetera, et cetera.
And we got to understand that history before we can start to really authentically be neurodivergent affirming.
