Studying Neurodiversity

The hope, when it comes to investigating people’s differences, is to: a) better accommodate and integrate them into a more inclusive and diverse system, or b) give a reason to extricate people from the system and absolve them of responsibility to that system. There are good reasons to assume that no social system can ever be good for the individual – they could be ignorant, oppressive, and presumptuous by design. Social systems may necessarily benefit some members at the expense of others, fostering greater inequality than there would be in the absence of such systems. Libertarians may argue that, even with good intentions, accidental harm done by society to individuals is more unethical than allowing individuals to suffer without intervention.
