Dr. David P. Ruttenberg, a neuroscientist and AI-ethics specialist affiliated with University College London and Cambridge, presents an urgent call to action in "Defying the Purge: A Radical Blueprint for Neurodivergent Resilience Amid NIH Funding Losses." This article critiques the Supreme Court's decision to uphold significant cuts to NIH grants, particularly those supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), gender identity, and health equity.

Ruttenberg argues that these funding losses severely threaten advancements in neurodivergent mental health, educational accommodations, and employment equity. He proposes a radical, community-led response to counter these setbacks, advocating for independent research collectives and state-level funding alternatives to ensure continued progress for neurodivergent individuals.
