Originado por grupos de interés y basado en el modelo social de la discapacidad y la biodiversidad, fue acuñado por la socióloga Judy Singer en 2017. La neurodiversidad se refiere a las variaciones en el funcionamiento cognitivo, afectivo y sensorial, incluyendo el espectro autista, trastorno de déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) y discapacidades intelectuales o de comunicación. Se conceptualiza como una variante neurocognitiva sin connotaciones negativas ni patológicas. Este concepto abarca un movimiento social que promueve la aceptación e inclusión de los diferentes neurotipos, buscando despatologizar los trastornos del neurodesarrollo. Aunque el autismo ha sido el foco, el TDAH y los trastornos del lenguaje también se incluyen. Se enfatiza la necesidad de apoyar a estas personas con tratamientos farmacológicos y terapias, evitando etiquetarlas de forma perjudicial. Los cirujanos con dislexia y/o neurodivergentes tienen habilidades en el pensamiento visual y resolución de problemas espaciales, lo cual es una ventaja; además, pueden manejar varias tareas a la vez, algo que es importante en el entorno quirúrgico. Fomentar un ambiente inclusivo y de apoyo puede mejorar la moral del equipo y promover una cultura de respeto y colaboración.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The concept of neurodiversity, although popular in the workplace and with inclusion programmes in some companies, still lacks a solid academic definition. Originated by interest groups and based on the social model of disability and biodiversity, it was coined by sociologist Judy Singer in 2017. Neurodiversity refers to variations in cognitive, affective and sensory functioning, including autism spectrum, ADHD and intellectual or communication disabilities. It is conceptualised as a neurocognitive variant without negative or pathological connotations. This concept encompasses a social movement that promotes the acceptance and inclusion of different neurotypes, seeking to depathologise neurodevelopmental disorders. Although autism has been the focus, ADHD and language disorders are also included. The need to support these people with pharmacological treatments and therapies is emphasised, avoiding labelling them in a harmful way. Surgeons with dyslexia and/or neurodivergent have skills in visual thinking and spatial problem solving, which is an advantage; in addition, they can handle multiple tasks at once, something that is important in the surgical environment. Fostering an inclusive and supportive environment can improve team morale and promote a culture of respect and collaboration.]]></p></abstract>
