One thing I tend to go on about is that when the story is told by one perspective, the problems and solutions are only seen from that perspective too. In talking about neurodivergence, we tend to be sharing the experiences from a lot about white boys, girls, men and women perspectives. No one else (because unless otherwise said, the default has always been white). Culturally competent care and support are much needed in giving those of us who are the most marginalised the kind of support we need that works well for the lives we actually lead.
Three thoughts:
1. Attribute certain behaviours to a medical condition differ across ethnic groups
2. Ethnic differences in reporting, Lack of awareness in the culture
3. Beliefs around neurodivergence and mental health
