The social model of disability is a progressive and empowering framework that shifts the focus from an individual’s impairments to the systemic, societal, and environmental barriers that hinder their full participation. This model contrasts with the traditional medical model, which tends to define individuals by their conditions and frames their differences as problems to be fixed. For neurodiverse individuals, including those with autism, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD, and conditions from the Dys family (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, etc.), the social model offers a perspective that celebrates diversity and prioritizes inclusivity.
