Abstract
Neurodiversity-affirming practice is receiving increasing attention in mental health care for autistic people. It emerged from an emancipatory tradition distinct from that of recovery-oriented practice, an established approach to mental health care. Nevertheless, the two approaches appear to share many of the same principles, such as person-centred support and valuing lived experience. This raises the question of what, if anything, neurodiversity-affirming practice adds to recovery-oriented mental health practice. We will examine the extent to which neurodiversity-affirming principles are represented in published frameworks and systematic syntheses of recovery-oriented practice.
