Just had a lovely meeting with a student, and agree to be a reader for her BA thesis on representations of mental illness in Margery Kempe (and possibly other texts). Please give me recs for scholarship on neurodiversity in the Middle Ages!! #MedievalTwitter
They are all mental disabilities and thus can be discussed under an umbrella from the perspective of doing research. No, ADHD and autism etc are not the same as depression/anxiety but they can be linked. And the depiction of them in medieval texts has a huge overlap.

agree again. i just want to make the umbrella's title "mental disability" or something, and not "neurodiversity" which is the sub-umbrella of neurodivergency. like i said, i think we're on the same page?
