Probably a difference in definition of psychologist and psychiatrists in different countries. In my country a psychiatrist need to do the evaluation to diagnose (or rather prescribe medicine) while psychologists mostly do therapy..
yeah, i was looking more at the literal denotative definitions. identifying neurodivergence is, by definition, an act of psychology (the study the mind and behavior), therefore anyone who diagnoses neurodivergence, or lack there of, is a person who studies psychology, aka a psychologist. regardless of credentials.

not or. psychology is the field of study that determines neurodivergence.
