NEUROQUEER*
Published on May 24, 2022 by Jané Mackenzie

*To Neuroqueer, is to actively reimagine the many structures that seek to define, exclude and erase us. It is to reclaim our-being and to give more full expression to our uniquely weird potentials and inclinations. 

Neuroqueer* as a verb: is an action, a doing word- rooted in the practice of queering (that is: subverting, disrupting, defying, liberating oneself from) from normativity and is necessarily intersectional in nature.

This concept has grown out of the critical neurodiversity paradigm* that centres exploration of neurodivergent culture, ways of being, seeing, knowing and engaging in/with-the-world- that disrupt and challenge the normative ideal.

We hope and encourage that this space (E-Numbers) is one in which we can together attempt to reclaim/give power to and embody our most authentic selves.
