Abstract
This panel examines decolonizing neurodiversity research through the lens of intellectual humility and co-liberation frameworks. Moving beyond scarcity-based hierarchies, panelists discuss how supremacist ideologies devalue the worth of neurodivergent individuals while demonstrating community-based participatory approaches that honor inherent dignity and foster authentic collaboration in research practice.
