PSY2041 SpTp: Id Exploration: Neurodiversity Nar

This project-based course provides a platform to recognize and develop student expertise about neurodiversity. Founded on the principle “nothing about us without us,” this course gives students an opportunity to explore what it means to be neurodivergent and use their insight to educate others. To establish a framework, students will consider how disability and social identity models construct what it means to be different. They will explore the self-advocacy of writers, bloggers, YouTubers, and artists who are autistic, learn differently, and/or identify as ADHD. Students will then reflect on their lived experience, develop a narrative, and share this story. Questions may include: What does neurodiversity mean to me? What do I wish others knew? How is my experience intersectional? Students are encouraged to be creative and may produce writing, visual art, audio, video, social media content or another modality. At the end of the semester, work can be entered in a class portfolio supporting the Center for Neurodiversity. Credits: 1
