Neurodiversity: Variation in Human Design

In Lenapehoking, neurodivergences are understood as a neurotype which is part of the variation in human design. We celebrate all brains! There are no longer problems communicating with those on the Autism spectrum or other neuro-variations regardless of the individual's proximity to hearing/vocalizing in a specific language. This is our reality because allistic/neuro normative types no longer hold all of the power for language creation.

There is no morally superior way to communicate as long as all communicators treat one another with dignity, respect

In addition, there is an increased and widespread application of sign language in all communities; every person speaks sign language in their native language.

AAC (alternative communication devices) devices are widely spread and understood by autistics and allistics, and other neurotypes alike. Gestalt language is no longer pathologized and recognized as an accessible and brilliant communication strategy.

Neurodiversity means there is a spectrum of body-mind presentation in this life and all are valid and beautiful.

Communication is seamless because we no longer rely on proximity to cis-white-male-allistic-hearing-seeing power in order to learn and share communication strategies. Communication is transactional and ongoing between message senders and receivers. There is no morally superior way to communicate as long as all communicators treat one another with dignity, respect, and the goodness of their heart.

All body-mind combinations deserve access to connection through communication in a format and style that is safe and comfortable

Neurodiversity does not mean not allistic. Neurodiversity means there is a spectrum of body-mind presentation in this life and all are valid and beautiful. All bodies are beautiful. All minds are beautiful. All body-mind combinations deserve access to connection through communication in a format and style that is safe and comfortable for each sender and receiver of the messages with consideration for external input such as noise and environment.
