This course explores how different forms of neurodivergence shape moral perception, justice sensitivity, and value priorities. You’ll connect insights from cognitive science, moral psychology, and philosophy with lived experience to see why fairness, harm, loyalty, and authority can be felt and reasoned about differently. We’ll unpack ideas like heightened fairness detection, the double empathy problem, masking, moral injury, and values clashes across contexts.

Through short lectures, discussion, and hands-on labs, you’ll use ethical frameworks (care, virtue, deontological, consequentialist), justice-sensitivity tools, and real cases from classrooms, clinics, workplaces, design teams, and policy. You’ll practice values-clarification, perspective-taking, conflict mapping, and inclusive decision-making to craft accommodations, codes of conduct, communication scripts, and product or policy guidelines. By the end, you’ll spot hidden ethical risks, reduce harm, advocate with nuance, and design environments where diverse moral styles become an asset.

My name is Jenna Jones (previously Riches), an Australian Senior Psychologist (PSY0002119836) specialising in adult ADHD and autism assessment. I run an online clinic providing affordable, accessible, high-quality assessments, informed by five years of practice and my own lived experience of neurodivergence. In my work I pay close attention to justice sensitivity, dignity, consent, and values—and how these shape everyday choices, relationships, and wellbeing for neurodivergent adults.

I teach Neurodivergence & Ethics to bridge rigorous clinical practice with humane, practical ethics. I’m passionate about translating complex psychology into clear tools you can use, drawing on de-identified case insights and evidence-informed frameworks. My aim is to create a learning space that centers autonomy, fairness, and accessibility, and helps you support neurodivergent people—and yourselves—with clarity, confidence, and care.
