As a scholar of disability studies, Robert McRuer has analyzed the intersection of queer and disability identities, a concept he refers to as "queer cripping." Through this lens, the neurodiversity movement can be understood as a form of "queer cripping," challenging ableist norms and creating new forms of disability culture and identity.

McRuer's work emphasizes the idea that disability is not an individual pathology, but rather a social and cultural phenomenon. Similarly, the neurodiversity movement recognizes that there is no single "normal" way of thinking or experiencing the world, and that neurodivergent individuals should not be pathologized or stigmatized.

Moreover, McRuer argues that queer and disabled identities are often constructed as mutually exclusive, with queer individuals seen as hyper-able and disabled individuals seen as asexual or non-sexual. The neurodiversity movement challenges this binary by embracing the diversity of human brains and promoting acceptance of neurodivergent individuals in all aspects of life, including sexuality and relationships.

Through the lens of "queer cripping," the neurodiversity movement becomes a powerful political force that challenges dominant cultural narratives about mental health and disability. By promoting acceptance and celebrating diversity, the movement creates new forms of disability culture and identity that challenge ableist norms and promote social justice.

Overall, Robert McRuer's concept of "queer cripping" provides a valuable framework for understanding the neurodiversity movement as a form of resistance against ableist cultural norms. By emphasizing the intersection of queer and disabled identities, McRuer's work allows us to see how the neurodiversity movement challenges not only the dominant narrative about mental health, but also the larger social and cultural structures that shape our understanding of disability.
