The article makes it very clear that their mission is to understand Neurodiversity and how the impact on how disabilities are perceived. The term itself has been coined since the late 1990’s and from the previous article we know that, “differences in the way brains developed and functioned were referred to generally as neurological differences.  These differences implied uniquely occurring events that were often associated with disabilities.” This quote actively demonstrates that neurological differences were set to development always being wrong and not described as differences that are partly typical variations of development in people. Society has expectations of people with how they act and what they do, but expectations can change over time too. “For example, because many societies rely heavily on reading and writing in order to work or conduct commerce, reading has become an essential ability and skill. Two hundred years ago, reading and writing were not as necessary in so-called developed countries and cultures. Of course, reading and writing open up the world of intellectual growth and exchange to people who can read and write, but two hundred years ago reading was not the not critical medium it is today.” Back in “traditional times” that statement was true, but now things are different in the “modern age” because technology plays a huge role in school and work environment. To communicate with individuals there’s a phone at their hand or sending an E-Mail through a computer because it is doubtful that people nowadays write letters. Speaking of traditional to modern times it was very true that reading and writing are essential for school and jobs, but there are people who just can’t do that and that shouldn’t be anything to be ashamed of because in school there are teachers to help the student out by using different method, so the student can understand what is going on and the same thing applies in the work environment.
