Wikipedia:University of Leeds/Online editathon for Neurodiversity Week

= About the event =

We will show you how to start editing Wikipedia pages about neurodiversity in this two-part online session.

Neurodiversity and disability are underrepresented in all areas of knowledge. A "disorder" rather than a "condition"-based approach in science has led to ableism and stigma.

The neurodiversity movement disagrees with the medical model and says that neurodiverse conditions should not be prevented or seeked to be cured. Instead, it stresses the need for acceptance, support, and accommodations.(Kapp et al., 2013).

In support of Neurodiversity Week 2024, please help make Wikipedia's neurodiversity content better!

Following from 's edit of Caragh McMurtry here's a wikidata query for athletes with autism https://w.wiki/9aGA

Note that I needed to add occupation (P106): athlete (Q2066131) and medical condition (P1050): autism (Q38404) to Caragh McMurtry WD item.

I was also trying to figure out how to display sitelinks in the query Any ideas??

See https://w.wiki/9aGA

Please keep in mind that this list does not include all types of neurodiversity. And that many people will have a blend of neurodiversity and intersecting conditions. If you want to include a query for an ND condition, please do.
