To honor Mental Health Awareness Month, Atif and Pasha explore the concepts of neurodivergence, mental health, and disability through the lens of the neurodiversity paradigm and the social model. 

There is a call to action to "Drop the D", removing disorder from our language, even as we are still navigating systems that use the pathology paradigm and medical model. 

Concepts such as intersectionality, identity, and social justice are also explored through a socio-political and cultural lens.
