We live in what Floridi (2011) calls the infosphere: a hyperconnected environment where massive data flows shape relationships, identities, and collective decisions. Within this context, sensitive information about mental health and neurodiversity circulates in fragmented and often ephemeral ways. This article proposes Symbolic-Computational Curation as a response to the limits of purely technical preservation models, integrating computational infrastructure, symbolic attribution of meaning, and informational ethics. Anchored in the General Theory of Computational Informational Unconscious (TG-IIC), the proposal engages directly and indirectly with Floridi, Drucker, Hjørland, Lévy, Parry, among others. We present a lifecycle for neurodivergent data—from production to cultural reinterpretation—that incorporates affective metadata and strategies for symbolic preservation. Practical cases (AURA-T, Care360, and Bruna AI) illustrate the model’s feasibility. We conclude that Symbolic-Computational Curation expands the role of informational technologies in mental health, offering a paradigm oriented toward inclusion, cognitive justice, and ethical innovation.
