Channel: Autistic Collaboration
Date: 26/03/2022

Neurodivergent perspectives on the importance of replacing the DSM with the neurodiversity paradigm ,and on the practical implications for Autistic culture in our local geographies (US, UK, Canada, Aotearoa). A conversation about the implicit cultural bias that is baked into the DSM and how this bias perpetuates the matrix of domination that can be traced back to the beginnings of the colonial era, and through to the emergence of hierarchically organised human civilisations.
