Landmark College’s 神经多样性中心 has been exploring the best way to define neurodiversity as both an identity and a movement. Our goal is to reduce stigma toward neurodiverse people. This can be achieved by validating the challenges they face while embracing the strengths and beauty of being neurodivergent.”
