EXCITING NEWS - NEW PAPER OUT.
Neurodiversity 2.0. Harnessing Cross-Disability Insights
Feedback:
In a word, Hari, this is EXCEPTIONAL. You are at the forefront of the stigma and neurodiversity fields--and this will be an incredibly valuable resource for MANY MANY people for years to come.
Hari Srinivasan this is brilliant!!! Thank you for your work - your framework will lay the foundation for the much needed change!
Hari, Congratulations on your Neurodiversity 2.0 article in Research in Autism. I just finished reading it. You do a great job and explaining the neurodiversity movement and point an achievable way forward.
I very much appreciated this paper, and I am sure I will draw upon it often in the future. I especially appreciated your centering of interdependence as an orientation to work towards instead of this idea of independence. This is a value I draw from frequently within my clinical work as an autistic psychologist who works primarily with autistic college students. We've long recognized the therapeutic alliance as a key agent of change in therapy, yet we often center individualism as a goal of therapy. Yet, any level of support need indicates a need for community and connection. Thanks for the work you are doing!
As someone currently spending a lot of time reflecting on language and terminology related to autism and neurodiversity for work at the moment, this paper could not have come at a better time.
Oh how I love a cross-disciplinary approach!

Excellent open access paper from Hari Srinivasan, recognising the importance of integrating the social and medical models of disability and going beyond the focus on individual and instead considering the systems and their interdependence. Brings back memories of Positive Psychology 2.0, which similarly in its "rebrand" embraced the opposite (negative emotions) to form a richer framework.
"To truly evolve, Neurodiversity 2.0 must embrace both opportunities and solutions—creating systems that recognize strengths while actively seeking solutions to address challenges that block access. Inclusion is not just about opening doors; it is about ensuring every individual has the tools to cross the threshold, navigate what’s beyond, and thrive."
I have been privileged to be in meetings and in committees with Hari. Hari just blows me out of the water every time. The capabilities but even more, the poetic, deep soulful thoughts that many of us “NNDs” non-neurodivergent individuals aren’t even capable of having!
