Abstract

Is mental ill health an aspect of ‘neurodiversity’? If so, is it ok to be neurodiverse within the context of mental health and how should those who are ‘neurotypical’ respond? Are people comfortable with the ‘labels’ of, and language and social constructs associated with, being neurodiverse and neurotypical as applied to mental health? These are the central questions that will be explored in this article through the lens of disability models.
