Disability or difference?

​Someone asked me this week to comment on Neurodivergence being a difference rather than a disability.

My answer. It's both.

Neurodivergence is a difference - a natural variation of the human bodymind and is a disability due to the way society is currently structured, institutions and workplaces operate and the socially constructed attitudes of normal we collectively adhere to.

I can hold both realities to be true.

Being multiply Neurodivergent I am both disabled in the pathologising and dehumanising society and structures we currently live in

And ..

Am a different but natural variation of human bodymind.
