'''Neurogender''' describes when one's gender is in some way linked to one's [[Neurodivergent|neurodivergence]], 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 neurodivergence as a gender, but rather is a gender or experience of gender that is so heavily influenced by one's neurodivergence that one's gender and neurodivergence 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 individuals who have similar experiences and don't wish to appropriate.▼
