The Government should add Neurodiversity as a protected characteristic to Section 4 of the Equality Act 2010: protected characteristics.

People are neurodiverse may be protected under the characteristic of disability, and we want neurodiversity to be made a specific protected characteristics.

Neurodiversity is a subsector of Biodiversity that should be considered a protected characteristic.
