Neurodivergent Economics

Neurodivergent Economics (Neurodivergent Capitalism) is a movement among Neurodivergents aiming to build wellness through the ownership, growing businesses, & supporting economic influences, in the hands of Neurodivergents.

Neurodivergent Economics focuses on investing in Neurodivergent-Owned businesses, community development, possession of land, education, startups, patents, or other resources that support the Neurodivergent Economy.

Supporters of Neurodivergent economics boycott businesses & non-profits that are ableisitic, predatory, or harmful to Neurodivergents or other impacted demographics.

Other forms of direct or indirect support may include related policy or advocacy work, activism, or campaigns for things such as demanding acceptance & raising awareness of information important to Neurodivergents or their communities.

(To prevent appropriation, it should be noted that this is inspired by the wisdom Black Economics / Black Capitalism and should NEVER be used in a manner that detracts from or robs the Black Economy. Furthermore, it is this author's opinion that when Neurodivergents cannot find a fellow Neurodivergent to spend their money with, one might do well to seek that product or service from the Black Community in support and solidarity for fellow impacted demographics. This also honors where our communities intersect for the many ignored, under-diagnosed, and much less frequently assessed Black Neurodivergents."

"I only by Neurodivergent Pride or Neurodiversity Celebration attire from Actual Neurodivergents to support the Neurodivergent Economy."

"If we want equity & Self-Determination for Neurodivergents, it's time keep our money within our own community by practicing Neurodivergent Economics"

"Every donation that Autism Speaks accepts is an act of theft from the Autistic & Neurodivergent Economy."

Allosaurus is sometimes used as a term for Neurotypicals who defend ableism, or things that directly result in ableism, Neurobias, non-inclusivity, and related issues due to a resistance to change or other traditionalist values.

The perception or one as an Allosaurus is that the problem likely stems from the person being stuck in the past.

In rare cases, a Neurodivergent projecting internalized ableism from Neurotypicals onto other Neurodivergents might also be referred to as an Allosaurus.

While the term is derived from the common rootword "Allos" in Allosaurus and Allistic, suggesting a focus on Autism. Thiscan be applied in relationship to to dynamics between other Neurodivergents and Neurotypicals.as well.

Emotiscription

Emotiscription is a portmanteau of "Emoticon" or "Emoji", and "Description".

Used much like an "Inclusivity Note" to better include those who may not be able to see or otherwise recognize the symbol. As well as for those using accessibility technology that may not yet recognize Emoji's, Emoticons, or other symbols denoting emotion.

This is to better include the Blind Community who may not see or hear them, Neurodivergents who might interpret them differently, or international communities were one cultures expression may mean something else in another's.

It should be emphasized that Emotiscription are not exclusively for social media and text, but may include any note used to include those who might otherwise not recognize an emotion, experience, gesture, or other symbols bearing the purposes Emojis do.

Both for casual and formal use of Emotiscription should properly include the description at the end in brackets, not parentheses. As parentheses can signify that written speech within should be omitted when read aloud, while brackets typically signify addition to the original quote.
