Dr Amy Pearson and Dr Monique Botha from our Psychology Department argue that neurodivergent people hold diverse and often strong views about the language used to describe them, with some valuing broad terms like 'neurodivergent' for their flexibility, while others see them as too vague or inaccurate. They emphasise that no single terminology works for everyone, and that respectful communication depends on using precise language and, where possible, following individuals’ own preferences.
