Abstract in brief
The neurodiversity movement views autism as an inherent part of a person's identity and opposes the medical model, which focuses on finding causes and cures for autism.
The survey of 657 people showed that those who identified as autistic or were aware of neurodiversity tended to see autism as a positive aspect of identity that doesn't need to be cured, highlighting a key difference from the medical model.
Despite these differences, there is substantial overlap, as many recognize the challenges of autism and support practices that improve quality of life without aiming to eliminate autism entirely, suggesting that autism can be seen as part of human diversity.]
Humbled 2013 neurodiversity paper has 1000 citations & is gathering steam! As paper says, neurodiversity awareness is associated w/ views aligned w/ it. Paper has helped to spread awareness of autism as a positive identity that needs support, not cure

@SarahMarieOB Ppl aware of neurodiversity movement are more likely to have views associated w/ it, incl. preference for identity-first language for autism (which autistics prefer beyond awareness). https://t.co/dNm0Whp0iG
Indeed, as awareness has gone up, journals have moved in its direction.
