“Neurodiversity” is often framed from the perspective of categorical clinical diagnoses. However, there is high heterogeneity within diagnoses, considerable overlap in phenomenology between diagnoses, and high rates of co-diagnosis. Moreover there is variation in neurodiversity across the whole population, not only in people with a diagnosis. I will discuss research in which we tried to capture some of this complexity within a quantitative framework. I hope this will provoke discussion about the measurement and experience of neurodiversity and neurodivergence.
