Neurodiversity Dialogues: How Awareness, Acceptance and Compassionate Treatment of Neurodivergent People has Evolved

In this session, there will be some exposition about the timelines of identification and discovery of different neurodivergent conditions. Discussion will center around what we can learn from history to promote awareness, acceptance, and compassion towards neurodivergent conditions.

Some historical records were interpreted with present day knowledge. Any discussion of religious texts will be approached exclusively from a historical standpoint and any canonical discussion will be avoided. This is not intended to impose on any individual’s beliefs, however these written records are important to understand at least the perspective of individuals who could write and how they perceived society and those around them.
