- Origin:
Composite of "neuro-" (from Greek neuron, meaning "nerve" or "nervous system") + "divergence" (from Latin divergentia, meaning "a turning apart"). Coined in the late 20th century, popularized by the neurodiversity movement to challenge pathologization of neurological differences.
中文翻译: 由“neuro-”（源自希腊语neuron，意为“神经”或“神经系统”）和“divergence”（源自拉丁语divergentia，意为“分歧”）构成。于20世纪末创造，通过神经多样性运动普及，旨在挑战对神经差异的病理化看待。 - Historical Shift:
Initially used in academic and advocacy contexts (1990s–2000s) to describe natural variation in human neurological profiles (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia). Shifted from clinical terminology to a social justice framework emphasizing acceptance and inclusion.
中文翻译: 最初在学术和倡导语境中使用（20世纪90年代至21世纪初），描述人类神经特征的自然多样性（如自闭症、注意缺陷多动障碍、阅读障碍）。从临床术语转变为强调接纳与包容的社会正义框架。
解释 (Definition)
- 中文解释: 神经多样性（指人类神经系统在认知、学习、感知等方面的自然差异，如自闭症、多动症等，强调这些差异是人类多样性的一部分而非缺陷）
- English (Oxford):
- (noun) The concept that variations in neurological development and function, such as those associated with autism, ADHD, or dyslexia, are natural and valid differences in human cognition, rather than inherently pathological conditions.
