Away from the media spotlight, there is a growing number of people who view autism differently. This "neurodiversity" movement sees autism not as a disease that must be treated but as a different way of life that must be accepted and supported. They argue that autism is simply a different way of seeing the world, and that "curing" it is neither possible nor desirable.

In "Loving Lampposts", we will meet the people behind this movement:

The Neurodiversity Movement are right and those of you take drugs to `be more NT` need to learn more about it.

neurodiversity has nothing to do with whether or not you use drugs.
