Collections
19 curated collections.
Each collection groups foundational theory, peer-reviewed studies, public-health data, clinical guidance, and lived-experience research.
Foundational Neurodiversity Research
Origins, paradigm, and language
The conceptual foundations of the neurodiversity paradigm: where the idea came from, how it has evolved, and how researchers and practitioners use it today.
Open collectionADHD
Attention, executive function, and lifespan
Prevalence, mechanisms, lived experience, and evidence-based supports across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Open collectionAutism
Prevalence, identification, and affirming practice
Current prevalence data, sex/gender and racial disparities in identification, and emerging neurodiversity-affirming clinical practice.
Open collectionDyslexia
Reading, identification, and structured literacy
What the science of reading tells us about dyslexia — early identification, structured literacy, and the strengths that often co-travel.
Open collectionDyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder)
Motor planning, daily living, and self-concept
Often overlooked, dyspraxia/DCD shapes everyday tasks, confidence, and learning. Research on adult outcomes is still catching up.
Open collectionDyscalculia
Number sense and mathematical learning
The least-funded of the specific learning differences, dyscalculia is finally receiving sustained research attention.
Open collectionExecutive Function
Working memory, inhibition, and flexibility
The cognitive control system underneath ADHD, autism, brain injury, trauma, and learning differences.
Open collectionBrain Injury
TBI, post-concussion, and cognitive change
Traumatic brain injury and concussion reshape cognition, identity, and daily life. The research base on long-term cognitive resilience is growing.
Open collectionCognitive Resilience
Neuroplasticity across the lifespan
How brains adapt after injury, stress, and aging — and how meaning, relationships, and practice strengthen that adaptation.
Open collectionTrauma
Stress, the body, and neurodivergent overlap
Trauma reshapes attention, memory, and the nervous system — and disproportionately affects neurodivergent populations.
Open collectionMental Health
Anxiety, depression, and neurodivergent comorbidity
Population-level mental-health data and the strong overlap between mental-health conditions and neurodivergent profiles.
Open collectionWorkplace Inclusion
Hiring, retention, and belonging at work
The business case for cognitive diversity and the practical research on hiring, accommodation, and retention.
Open collectionEducation
K–12, higher ed, and lifelong learning
Inclusive learning design, identification, and the research on what actually helps neurodivergent students thrive.
Open collectionUniversal Design
Design for the margins, benefit the whole
Universal Design and Universal Design for Learning move accessibility from accommodation to architecture.
Open collectionLeadership
Organizational change, complexity, and people
The leadership and organizational-change research that informs the AI Experience Framework™ and Understanding Neurodiversity.
Open collectionAI and Neurodiversity
Augmentation, governance, and harm
How AI systems are reshaping work, learning, and care for neurodivergent people — and the governance research that should shape design.
Open collectionFaith and Neurodiversity
Theology, belonging, and disability
Theological and practical research on disability, neurodivergence, and belonging in faith communities.
Open collectionBelonging
From inclusion to belonging
Belonging research across psychology, organizational behavior, and disability studies.
Open collectionEmerging Research
The frontier
Early-stage research lines worth watching — AI-augmented inclusion outcomes, brain economy measurement, faith-belonging metrics, and lifespan neurodiversity.
Open collectionHow this repository is curated
- • Primary sources first. Peer-reviewed studies, public-health data, and authoritative bodies (WHO, CDC, NIMH, OECD, UNESCO, NIST).
- • Original summaries only. We do not reproduce copyrighted text — we summarize and link.
- • Evidence labeled. Each resource is tagged by evidence level so readers can weight the claim.
- • Lived experience is research. Qualitative and community-led work is treated as evidence, not anecdote.
- • Quarterly review. Collections are revisited as new landmark work appears.
- • Suggest a resource. Researchers and practitioners can propose additions through the partner form.
