Neurodiversity has been know for 30 years but we know just as much now, as then, about architecture and neurodiversity. Physical disabilities is and are possible to measure and create guidelines for, but not neurodiversity. Neurodiversity is a wide umbrella term on a spectrum of disorders that can not yet fully be measured.  The traditional top down approach to accessible design has never worked and will never work for neurodiversity. A new approach is necessary. The last few years hints towards a new view from the disability community,- “If you fell like you’re disabled, you are disabled”.
