As autistic physicians, we agree with the position of Dawson et al: the neurodiversity movement regards autistic individuals to be both neurodivergent (diverging from the neurotypical majority) and disabled by environments not designed for autistic flourishing. Neurodiversity-informed therapeutic interventions therefore emphasize modification of external factors to better fit the autistic person. Therapeutic attempts to alter factors within the person must be done with utmost care to maintain the person’s autistic identity while helping support integration in the neurotypical world.
