The surveillance system that enforces neurotypical standards of cognition, behavior, and emotional expression. The Neuropanopticon consists of diagnostic criteria, educational norms, workplace expectations, and social scripts that mark certain ways of thinking as “disordered” and others as “normal.” It disciplines through diagnosis, medication, behavioral therapy, and social exclusion, pressuring neurodivergent individuals to mask, conform, or hide. Even without an official diagnosis, people self‑monitor for signs of “weirdness,” constantly comparing their inner experience to an imagined neurotypical standard.
