When Different Becomes Defective
Have you noticed how quickly we've learned to pathologize the human mind? In just six decades, psychiatric diagnoses have tripled-from roughly 100 categories in 1952 to over 300 today. Conditions like ADHD and dyslexia didn't exist in medical textbooks sixty years ago, yet now millions of children carry these labels. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that half of all Americans will experience mental illness during their lifetimes. Half. That's a staggering claim about human nature itself. But what if we've been asking the wrong question? Instead of "What's wrong with these brains?" perhaps we should ask: "What if these aren't broken brains at all, but different kinds of minds that our culture struggles to accommodate?" This fundamental shift-from deficit to difference-lies at the heart of neurodiversity, a concept that's revolutionizing how we understand conditions from autism to anxiety. Just as we don't speak of "race disorder" or "cultural disorder," maybe it's time to stop framing neurological variation as pathology. The brain isn't a machine with faulty parts-it's more like a rainforest, teeming with diversity, adaptation, and countless ways of being.
