The Origin of Neurodiversity

Send us Fan MailIn the inaugural episode of Neurodivergent Faith, our host, Josh Davis explores the concept of neurodiversity from a faith-based perspective. Neurodiversity, which encompasses conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, is framed as a natural part of human variation, reflecting God's diverse and intentional design. The episode emphasizes that neurodivergent individuals, like everyone else, are created in the image of God, and their differences are valuable rather than deficient. Josh also introduces the "social model of disability," which shifts the focus from the individual’s limitations to societal barriers, and highlights how Jesus’ teachings on inclusion and dignity align with neurodiversity. We'd love to hear your reflections and feedback.
