00:00Do you know that, as well as the gender and gender, our brains are also diverse?
00:04Let's talk about neurodivergencies and what it means to be neuroqueer.
00:09Neurodivergencia is a condition in the functioning of the brain.
00:12It is a concept that is used mainly to refer to people within the autism spectrum.
00:18However, it also has other cognitive and emotional diversities different from the norm,
00:23like dyslexia, TOC or TDAH.
00:25The neurodiversity explains that people experience and interact with the world in different ways.
00:32And there is no right way to think, to learn and to behave.
00:36And that's why the differences are not considered deficiencies.
00:40The neurodivergencies and sexual diversity share aspects in their history,
00:44like the pathogenization or even the borrach of our experiences of life.
00:48And although we have advanced on LGBTQ+,
00:50we forget that people are neurodivergent can be queer.
00:54And suffer discrimination by simply being who we are.
00:57There are many studies that show that the percentage of people neurodivergent
01:01that identify as LGBTQ+, is more high than the neurotypical.
01:05And this can be understood because the neurodiversities
01:08are outside the mold of the norms and the social restrictions.
01:12Like being hetero is what normal.
01:14Or even more empatical.
01:16For example, in the typical series, when Sam realizes that Casey is bisexual,
01:20he doesn't care about it because it's not strange because we are homosexuals.
01:24It's the case.
01:25The concept of neuroqueer is a term coined by the author and educator autista and queer,
01:30Mick Walker,
01:31that seeks precisely to highlight that intersectionality.
01:35It is to understand and explore the relationship that has to be neurodivergent and LGBTQ+,
01:40how they mix and interact in our daily lives.
01:43That's why, asumirse as a person neuroqueer
01:46means resisting against cis, heterosexual, and neuro-normative systems.
