Structural-Constructivist Dynamics of Neurodiversity: The Core Emotion Framework and the Detangling of Responsible CEF Core Emotions

The traditional clinical landscape of neurodiversity is currently undergoing a significant paradigm shift,transitioning from deficit-focused medical models toward "strength-based interventions." This evolutionis driven by a growing recognition that individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), andSensory Processing Disorder (SPD) possess unique cognitive architectures that, while differing fromneurotypical norms, represent specialized "Primal Powers" rather than inherent pathologies. Central tothis transition is the Core Emotion Framework (CEF), a structural-constructivist architecture thatdeconstructs the human experience into ten fundamental "Core Emotions" or cognitive-affectivemodules. By reframing neurodivergent symptoms as "entanglements"—pathological fusions of theseprimal powers—the CEF provides a mechanistic pathway for "detangling" these states, thereby restoringmoment-to-moment emotional flexibility and cognitive agency.
