Reading this, something occurred to me. If we are to champion "neurodiversity", should we not aim to accomplish neurodiversity in each individual, instead of neurodiversity in the population? By that, I mean diversity in neural activity, such that it doesn't reach extremes characterized by autism, depression, bipolar disorder, etc. In that sense, isn't embracing autism, depression, bipolar disorder, etc. actually the antithesis of "neurodiversity"?
