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."

Inclusivity Note

"Inclusivity Notes" Are notes featured in written or spoken language to provide context critical to inclusivity.

Similarly to "Trigger Warnings", Inclusivity Notes are placed at the top of a body of text, page, or at the beginning of the text it is relevant to.

It is inappropriate to feature Inclusivity Notes after the text they are relevant to, such as one would with a typical use of an asterisk (*) & a footnote at the end.

This is problematic as some would have to disrupt the flow of information to keep up. Such as with textbooks in classes or documents in meetings.

It is also inappropriate to feature Inclusivity :Notes within parentheses so as to be cited but not read alone.

Formal use of Inclusivity Notes should be in bold, or noted with asterisks at the beginning & ending of of the term. Then followed be a semicolon, the type of note, & detailes on the second line. Such as:
*Inclusivity Note: Example*
This is only an example.

Inclusivity Notes may be used to advise individuals such as Neurodivergents about upcoming "non-literal language".

One can also use Inclusivity Notes to advise a Native Language Audience about Foreign Language present, or Second Language Audiences of elusive terms to know in advance. Such as those that do not translate.

Among other applications. Inclusivity Notes can also be used for those with different abilities or disabilities. Such as making more elaborate explanations for visual language that might otherwise exclude Blind Communities.

" *Inclusivity Note: Antiphrasis*

The following movies listed are named ironically, as to imply the opposite meaning of the titles the bear."

" *Inclusivity Note: Translation*

The following interview references a concept called "森林浴 " or "Shinrin'yoku". While the literal translation is "Forest Bath", it means to spend time taking the forest with one's senses as an act of self-care. "

Toxic Masking

The term Toxic Masking comes from the Neurodivergent community and is most commonly associated as an issue impacting Autistic.

However, it can flexibly be applied to any marginalized group that is put in a position of pressure or threat to mask their identities and/or conform to provided stereotypes for acceptance and/or safety.

All true forms of "Masking" are Toxic Masking.

Which is not to be confused with "Disguising". A chosen and intentional tool used to get things done in a non-exclusive world.

Or being "Closeted" as a personal journey that can include protection from threat to ones safety, or personal comfort.

These are often harmful to the person too, however not as hardly of excluding as the alternative. These are constructs that must be undone so such compromises needed be made at the cost of emotional labor from Neurodivergent & other marginalized communities.

"When you don't create inclusivity Neurodiverse spaced, you promote Toxic Masking."

"I need more Autistic friends, I've been slipping back into Toxic Masking habits lately.

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.

"You want to make your Emotiscription look like the following! 🥰
Yellow Smiley face with hearts

"That was a hilarious joke!😂😂😂
Imagery: 3 Yellow smiley faces laughing so hard that they are in tears"

"Black Lives Matter✊🏿

"Happy Pride Month Everyone! 🏳️ 🌈🏳️ ⚧️
