  "textContent": "> We are not for a second asserting here that anyone can become Autistic, or similar. What we are saying is that all bodyminds are formed in context, and that “normality” itself is a cultural construction, not a biological destiny.\n>\n> If neuronormativity is a system that defines certain cognitive styles as correct, then diverging from that system, resisting it, refusing it, reworking it, is itself a form of neurodivergence. The fundamental premise underlying neuroqueer practice is refusal rather than any kind of biological essentialism. Therefore, being neurodivergent becomes less a diagnostic container, and weirdness less a value judgement; both become an act of sociopolitical resistance in our very mundane dystopia of a society.\n>\n> A place you stand.\n>\n> A way you move.\n>\n> A stance toward the world.",
