It aims to bring together emerging scholarship from various fields and backgrounds to reimagine our understanding of care and neurodiversity.

It also shares a poignant reflection on the simplicity of care in the context of neurodivergent individuals, emphasizing the importance of keeping it basic and uncomplicated.
