The 'Social Model' and 'Medical Model' of Neurodiversity
The problem of ADHD or Autism not being a 'broken/defective' brain, but a mismatch with the existing architecture and education system (Incompatibility).
The Wheelchair Analogy
The 'norofarkliyiz' page advocates for the social model against the medical model. A person being in a wheelchair is a 'Medical' situation. However, the reason that person cannot enter the building is not that they are 'Defective/Ill,' but that the architect who built that building forgot to put in a 'Ramp.' The disability is in the environment, not in the person.
Similarly, for a student with ADHD, having to sit in that chair and passively listen for 45 minutes (a building without a ramp) creates disability. The concept of Neurodiversity accepts that human brains are different (rich), just like biodiversity in nature. While CBT or standard education tries to 'fix' the person, the Social Model aims to make the world 'accessible' to that person.

The Problem is in the Design, Not the Individual
According to the Social Model of Disability (often referenced by advocates like Damla Kuduoğlu), disability—or the challenges brought by neurodivergence—stems not from a biological "disorder" within the individual, but from the fact that society is built according to a narrow neurotypical standard.
For example, open-plan offices are a state of total sensory chaos for an ADHD brain. While the medical model says, "This individual has a focusing disorder," the Social Model says, "This office design is not flexible enough to include neurodivergent employees." The individual should not have to change or mask; instead, the environment (lighting, communication style, flexible hours) should change.
