Résumé |
Anyone who has ever tried to sing in a choir might have experienced how incredibly beautiful, and yet truly challenging, it is to blend different voices into a single polyphonic movement. This experience offers a vivid metaphor of the very idea of neurodiversity, with both the joys and the challenges it comes with. Our experience with a neurodiverse choir has convinced us that sharing this experience could be as an effective way to shed light on what neurodiversity can be, what it is not, and what it involves for clinicians.
