Sara Wheeler on why it's vital that research into neurodiversity is better understood.

Sara Wheeler argues that we must improve our understanding of those whose brains work in ways we don't recognise.

"In the 1880s," writes Sara Wheeler, "the scientific community began to recognise and categorise neurodiversity." 

We've come a long way since then, she says.  But there's a long way to go.  

And as neurological research presses on, she argues that we, as a society, must try to keep up with its findings.
