Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Coined in the late 1990s within the autistic rights movement, combining the combining form 'neuro-' (derived from Greek neuron, meaning nerve or sinew) and 'divergent' (from Latin divergentem, meaning turning apart or branching off). It emerged to counter medical pathology models by framing neurological differences as natural variations in human genome expression.
