In The New Normal series, Dr Miriam explores how diagnostic frameworks shape our understanding of neurodivergence. Part 2 critiques these systems, revealing how biases in tools like the DSM and ICD lead to the misrecognition of Black, gender-diverse, and working-class individuals. Dr Miriam calls for a reimagining of diagnostic models, urging a shift towards more inclusive, context-aware, and justice-oriented practices in understanding neurodivergence.
