Dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, being bi-polar - in their singular and co-morbid and simple and severe forms - are currently labelled as different forms of neurodiversity. As such it is almost impossible to avoid being informed by the media that some celebrity or public figure suffers from one or other of these conditions. This trend to label any assumed divergence from an imagined norm can be more productively treated as a meme, with each of its different categories treated as memes in their own right. But the validity of their separate identity is founded, indirectly, on the belief that the body and the mind are separate entities coexisting in the same individual. The disastrous consequences of this 'world view' are evidenced by the at worst ineffective and at best short term benefits of 'treatment programme'. As an aside it is worth asking why repeat offending and recidivism isn't also regarded as a neurodiverse condition? For it could plausibly be argued that the behaviour covered by the label has been engendered by a condition beyond the control of that individual. In the 17th Century, to define the difference between how human and non-human animals acted, Rene Descartes claimed that humans had bodies and minds whereas animals had only bodies. This mistaken belief, wherein body and mind are treated as separate entities, still persists today among many mental health and other occupational health professionals.
