Neurodivergent individuals, including a range of conditions impacting neurological function, are at an increased likelihood of poor life outcomes, such as in functional adaptation, mental health, and well-being. Yet, many live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Resilience may provide some explanation for the heterogeneity in outcomes observed in neurodivergent populations. We conducted a scoping review embedded in a neurodiversity-affirmative approach to provide an understanding of resilience in neurodivergent populations. A total of 176 articles were included in this review and were synthesized using a two-phased process. First, findings were synthesized narratively to examine how resilience has been conceptualized and explored in neurodivergent populations. Second, to identify the bio-psycho-social factors important for resilience in neurodivergent individuals, we converted concepts identified in articles to the nomenclature of the World Health Organizations' International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) using a standardized linking process. We find considerable variability in how resilience is conceptualized and measured in neurodivergent populations. We identified 83 unique ICF categories representing resilience factors, of which only 20 appeared in more than 5% of the articles. Identified ICF categories highlight the importance of support systems such as families and friends, community participation and acceptance, and individual capabilities for resilience.

面对神经分歧的韧性：对韧性和促进积极结果的因素的范围审查


神经分歧个体，包括一系列影响神经功能的疾病，生活结果不佳的可能性增加，例如功能适应、心理健康和幸福感。然而，许多人过着有意义且充实的生活。复原力可能为神经分歧人群中观察到的结果的异质性提供一些解释。我们进行了一项嵌入神经多样性肯定方法的范围界定审查，以了解神经分歧人群的复原力。本次综述共纳入 176 篇文章，并通过两阶段过程进行综合。首先，以叙述方式综合研究结果，以检验如何在神经分歧人群中概念化和探索复原力。其次，为了确定对神经分歧个体的恢复力重要的生物心理社会因素，我们使用标准化链接过程将文章中确定的概念转换为世界卫生组织国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）的术语。我们发现神经分歧人群中复原力的概念和测量方式存在很大差异。我们确定了代表弹性因素的 83 个独特的 ICF 类别，其中只有 20 个出现在超过 5% 的文章中。确定的 ICF 类别强调了支持系统的重要性，例如家人和朋友、社区参与和接受以及个人的恢复能力。
