- “Neurodivergence (the state of being neurodivergent) can be largely or entirely genetic an innate, or it can be largely or entirely produced by brain-altering experience, or some combination of the two (autism and dyslexia are examples of innate forms of neurodivergence, while alterations in brain functioning caused by such things as trauma, long-term meditation practice, or heavy usage of psychedelic drugs are examples of forms of neurodivergence produced through experience).” Nick Walker, Neurocosmopolitanism
