'''Neurogender''' is both a [[gender identity]] and an [[umbrella term]] to describe when someone's gender is somehow linked to their [[Wikipedia:Neurodiversity|neurotype]], mental disorder, or neurological conditions.

There are many different neurogenders related to most, if not all, neurodivergencies. For a comprehensive list of neurogenders on Gender Wiki, please see [[:Category:Neurogender]].

Neurogenders are sometimes considered to be [[Xenogender|xenogenders]] as well.

'''Important notes about neurogender and terms under its umbrella:'''

* Not everybody with a neurodivergency identifies with a neurogender. For example, not all autistic people identify with [[autigender]]. Only those that feel as if their gender can only be explained in the context of being autistic identify with it.

* These aren't neurodivergency as a gender, but a gender ''affected'' by neurodivergency, or only able to be understood in the context of neurodivergency.

* Most agree that these genders are exclusive to neurodivergent people, while some argue that [[gender identity]] cannot and should not be policed, so neurogenders are somewhat controversial.

* The rules around neurodiversity apply here. Namely, neurodiversity only needs treatment if it affects their quality of life.

== Flags ==
The original neurogender flag was designed by Tumblr user aflutteringlaney<ref name=":0">https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Neurogender-556907446</ref><ref name=":1">https://web.archive.org/web/20180902192347/http://pridearchive.tumblr.com/post/94634525826/neurogender-pride</ref> on August 13, 2014.<ref name=":0" /> The color meanings are as follows: red, green, blue and purple represent the spectrum of different neurotypes and gender identities that neurodivergent individuals have; black represents the aromantic and asexual spectrums; the infinity symbol represents neurodiversity.
