Individuals who are neurodiverse should not change themselves to
conform to mainstream standards. As we saw in both TED talk
videos, people who are neurodiverse can be very creative and
intelligent. Neurodiverse people and society need to start
appreciating the unique skills and creativity that come with
neurodiversity. Rather than treat them as someone with a sickness,
we should get to know, understand, and accept them for who they
are. As a society, we can all benefit from the unique skills and talents
neurodiverse people have. Some may become scientists, doctors, or
artists. Neurodiverse people can possess skills that may change
society or the world as we know it. We, as humans, tend to see
neurodiversity as something we need to fix because we have a hard
time accepting change. If we see something different than everything
else, we tend to think something is wrong. We must start celebrating
their skills and talents rather than trying to fix what we believe is
wrong. Neurodiversity can correlate with social justice. If we accept
neurodiversity socially, we can change the outlook on neurodiversity.
