In his article, "Funding Cuts and the Neurodivergent Fight for Equity: Radical Reforms in Education, Work, and Society," Dr. David P. Ruttenberg, a neuroscientist and AI ethics specialist, argues against the Supreme Court's decision to allow the Trump administration to cut $2 billion in NIH grants. He contends that this action, driven by ideological opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), threatens to undo years of progress for neurodivergent individuals in higher education, employment, and social integration.

Ruttenberg emphasizes that these cuts will exacerbate inequities, particularly by jeopardizing research into sensory sensitivity and accommodations vital for neurodivergent success. He proposes radical reforms, including the creation of decentralized research ecosystems and advocating for neurodiversity representation in funding decisions, to counteract the negative impacts of this funding purge and promote a more equitable future.

The article includes numerous references to support its claims and offers a call to action for neurodivergent advocacy.
