The podcast, "Autonomous Neurodivergent City-States," outlines a visionary proposal for self-governed communities designed entirely around the needs of neurodivergent individuals.

Authored by Dr. David Ruttenberg, it argues for creating jurisdictions where environmental design, governance structures, and economic models are tailored to diverse sensory thresholds and processing styles.

Drawing parallels to the sovereignty of Native American tribes, the text suggests these city-states could offer radical inclusion and economic self-determination while remaining integrated into broader society.

The author details a roadmap for implementation, including land acquisition, legal frameworks, and protective measures against exploitation, emphasizing a "nothing about us, without us" approach to ensure authenticity and resident empowerment.
