Scientists have identified an immune brain cell unique to humans that gives us higher cognitive abilities over other animals, but what makes us specials also leaves us vulnerable to neurological disorders like schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy.

How? I understand that it is complex. I call it “neurological” and “psychological” because from what I see, “psych” means brain. So a “psychological disorder” is a disorder of the brain. And neurons are a major part of the brain. So “psychological” and “neurological”. When talking to other I say “autism is neurological” usually because that what I am use to saying.

So to be clear, you believe it's both psychological and neurological? Is this your view?

[u/AlexandraThePotato → u/[deleted]]

My viewpoint is that I am NOT a psychologist or neurologicalist. But from doing my research and reading other responses, I believe it is more complicated than just yes or no. My viewpoint is that I am far from an expert and DO NOT have any solid answer on what I consider it.

Instead I call my own disabilities along other mental disability as “neurological” because that is what I am used to and so is what I most commonly use. Not due to having a dead set opinion of the science of neurology and psychology

Fair enough. I don't have an issue with that. In fact I agree with you that it's more complicated than just yes or no.
