🚫 "Neurotypical" is a myth — and a harmful one.
It’s not just scientifically unfounded — it’s a cultural construct that flattens the richness of human cognition into a false binary: normal vs. other. And that binary has consequences — fueling masking, burnout, and erasure for countless autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent people.
In my latest essay, I make the case for retiring the term altogether — and offer something new in its place: Neurocomplexity.
🧠Neurocomplexity is a metamodern framework that reflects what science, lived experience, and cross-disciplinary insight all point toward: that every human mind is an ecosystem — fluid, adaptive, nonlinear, and shaped by trauma, culture, biology, and identity.
We don’t need a new label. We need a new lens.
This piece is for anyone seeking to challenge outdated models of brain “normalcy,” and to build a world where authenticity replaces performance — and difference is honored as reality, not deviation.
