S1E23 End Cure Research: Celebrate Neurodivergence, Destroy Ableism

Dr. David P. Ruttenberg, a neuroscientist and AI-ethics specialist, advocates for ending "cure" research for neurodivergence and instead redirecting those substantial resources towards celebrating neurodiversity and dismantling ableism. He argues that the focus on "curing" neurodivergence is harmful, dehumanizing, and perpetuates societal stigma, drawing parallels to historical eugenics.


The author proposes reallocating funds to initiatives that enhance the quality of life for neurodivergent individuals, such as accessible housing, inclusive education, universal basic income, and technology co-designed with neurodivergent users.


Ruttenberg emphasizes the importance of community-led solutions and intersectional approaches to address the compounded discrimination faced by various neurodivergent groups. He acknowledges the significant challenges posed by vested interests but highlights the growing momentum of the #DivestFromCures movement and calls for collective action to achieve neurodiversity justice.
