Neurodiversity can have consequences on equal opportunities and social acceptance. Different strategies improve psychosocial adaptation and quality of life, but these strategies require - almost always - an early diagnosis. However, to achieve this, we must overcome some professional and citizen reluctance, justified by the fear of stigmatizing or pathologizing almost normal behaviours. Educators and health professionals should not assume that patients and relatives understand the value that provides a good diagnosis in the patient’s quality of life. Demonstrating the effectiveness of evidence -based interventions, can pave the way to greater precision and acceptance in the diagnosis of neurodevelopment and mental disorders.
