Dr. David P. Ruttenberg, a neuroscientist and advocate, presents a compelling argument to abolish the medical model of neurodivergence in his article. He posits that "normalization" practices are a form of systemic violence that cause psychological harm by forcing neurodivergent individuals to mask their authentic selves.

Ruttenberg advocates for a neurodiversity revolution that would dismantle the current medical framework, which he traces back to eugenics, and replace it with community-led alternatives that celebrate diverse cognitive styles.

The article also discusses the barriers to this change from entrenched industries and calls for collective action and co-design to create a more inclusive world where neurodivergence is valued rather than pathologized.
