Interesting post linking to slides and a handout for a session looking at the intersection between neurodiversity and universal design for learning (UDL). "UDL is informed by a recognition of learner variability, a concept that is distinct from, but often conflated with neurodiversity." There's a tension, I think, between the idea that people are just different and the idea that some are different in a way that is a significant disadvantage. Having said that, I like the way Sarah Silverman steps through the discussion in this presentation, taking care to reflect the various perceptions and respect sensitivities around these topics.
