Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This echoes my own sentiments, that we need a wider definition of ‘normal’ for humans. We should celebrate diversity, not medicalize it.
If I recall correctly the person who originally coined the term “neurodivergence” (an Australian psychologist?) intended it to describe all people, not to create a distinction between the “neurodiverse” and the “neurotypical” (as if the latter do not also exist on spectrums).
This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
Ongoing discussions, FAQs & Resources (still under construction)
