Abstract
The Scottish National Autism Implementation Team's neurodiversity terms are a valiant, but flawed, attempt to reconcile different worldviews on neurodiversity. The aim of harmonising different perspectives is laudable; however, we disagree with the use of 'societal norms' in the authors' framework of terms and challenge some of their proposed definitions.
