Image features the upper half of a Golbat and the lower half of a Nidoqueen. Text reads: “Wikipedia is a reliable source on most topics. Wikipedia is not a reliable source on neurodiversity.”

Wikipedia is pretty well maintained. The community is generally educated and the administrators deal with vandalism very quickly. Plus, by its nature it is regularly updated to reflect new information, unlike many sources which become obsolete soon after they’re published.

BUT

It has an ableist bias. The community strongly insists that words like disorder are OK because professionals use them, that words like neurodivergence are not OK because they’re neologisms, and that blatantly favoring the pathology paradigm and the medical model of disability is somehow neutral.

If you are genuinely interested in learning about neurominorities, the best option is to find a blog written by someone who is a member of the neurominority you want to learn about.
