This article analyzes the lack of inclusivity in educational, work, and social systems (with a focus on Italy and other countries) towards neurodivergences (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.). It highlights how these systems, based on an ideal of "neurotypicality" and standardized performance, lead to the stigmatization and difficulties of neurodivergent individuals.
