There are major issues with this "narrow diagnosis" idea:
1) Neuro-divergence happens across a wide spectrum.
2) A narrow diagnosis excludes many who would derive better health from support.
3) That's a deficit, not a health based approach.
The solution is an inclusive population health approach.

Pegmatite is a type of igneus rock that frequently contains large crystals of quartz, feldspar, or mica. When looked at with a longwave UV flashlight, these minerals seem to glow! Kids at our museum can see this for themselves up close and personal.
