Neuroqueer@TUD
Information about the Project
The neuroqueer@TUD project, which is funded by the Equality and Diversity Incentive Fund, will start in at march 2024. This focuses on the academic situation and conditions of neurodivergent, queer people and thus addresses intersectional aspects and their effects on university studies.
The project can be seen as a follow-up project to neurodivergent@TUD, which examined the needs of neurodivergent students more closely in 2023 and initiated an exchange format as part of a regulars' table.
Summary of the Project
Gender identity and experiences on the neurodivergent spectrum are interacting. Inaccurate diagnostic procedures result, among other things, in the fact that people who have been socialized as girls are often not diagnosed with autism until they have completed school. However, since early therapeutic support for neurodivergent people is an important indicator of academic success, this can have consequences for everyday university life. Neuroqueer@TUD is based on the results of neurodivergent@TUD project and examines intersectional aspects of gender identity and neurodivergent with an impact on academic success.
Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Freestate of Saxony under the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government and the Länder.
