'''Neurogender''' describes when one's gender is in some way linked to one's neurodivergency, mental illness, or neurological conditions. It is an 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, but rather is a gender that if so heavily influenced by neurodivergency that one's gender and neurodivergency cannot be unlinked. |

Flag
The neurogender flag was post on the Tumblr blog Pridearchive on August 13, 2014[1]. 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.
