    '''Neurogender''' (coined by Tumblr user Baaphomett in 2014, in a submission to the [[MOGAI-archive blog]])<ref name="baaphomett masterpost">Baaphomett. "Masterpost of genders coined by Baaphomett." ''Mogai-Archive.'' Original post where these were coined, which is lost: http://mogai-archive.tumblr.com/post/91736136744/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett Archive of that post: https://purrloinsucks.tumblr.com/post/95720973644/masterpost-of-genders-coined-by-baaphomett Archive of that archive: https://archive.is/yULU0#selection-169.2-169.93</ref> means any self-identity in which a person feels that their gender identity is somehow linked to-- and best described in connection with-- their neurological type (neurotype), neurological conditions, neurodivergence, mental variation, or mental illness. One's neurotype affects many parts of one's life, including one's gender identity. Neurogenders are not defined in relationship to concepts of male and female, which puts it under the umbrellas of [[nonbinary]] gender and [[xenogender]]. There are many different neurogenders related to most, if not all, neurodivergencies. Not everyone who is neurodivergent sees themselves as having a neurogender. Some neurogenders are only for people with certain neurotypes. 


    '''Neurogender''' is an umbrella term to describe when someone's gender is somehow linked to their neurotype, mental illness, or neurological conditions. There are many different neurogenders related to most, if not all, neurodivergencies. Not everyone who is neurodivergent has a neurogender, but each neurogender is exclusive to certain neurotypes. Oftentimes there are similar terms available to neurotypicals who have similar experiences and don't wish to appropriate.
    "Neurodivergent" is a general category for people whose neurological development and state are atypical, and it includes people who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia, epilepsy, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or many other neurological conditions or mental illnesses. The word neurodivergent comes from the neurodiversity movement, which was started by autistic rights activists in the late 1990s. The neurodiversity movement seeks civil rights for neurodivergent people, and encourages seeing neurodivergence as a natural part of human diversity.<ref name="disabled world">"What Is: Neurodiversity, Neurodivergent, Neurotypical."

    ==List of Neurogenders==
    In her book ''The Gender Creative Child'', psychologist Diane Ehrensaft wrote:
    {{quote|...when a child shows up with a co-occurrence of [[gender nonconformity]] and neuro-atypicality, we are meeting with gender ''and'' something else rather than gender as a symptom of something else. It might even be that the gender and the neurodiversity are part and parcel of the same thing.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Gender Creative Child|page=106|last=Ehrensaft|first=Diane|year=2016}}</ref>}}


    There are many kinds of neurogenders, some of which are only for people with certain neurotypes. This list is in alphabetical order.
    In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of neurodiverse and nonbinary people, identities should only be listed here if they cite from at least two separate external sources, showing:
