'''{{PAGENAME}}''' describes when one's gender is in some way linked to one's neurodivergency, mental illness, or neurological conditions. It is an [[Umbrella Term|umbrella term]] for any gender related to being neurodivergent, but it can also be used as an identity on its own. Neurogender is not neurodivergency as a gender{{CitationNeeded}}, but rather is a gender or expirence of gender that is so heavily influenced by one's neurodivergency that one's gender and neurodivergency cannot be unlinked.
Not everyone who is neurodivergent identifies as a neurogender, only those who feel their gender is influenced by their status as neurodivergent. Neurogenders are [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive]] to those of a given neurotype, though oftentimes there are similar terms available to neurotypical people who have similar experiences and don't wish to appropriate.
