This false binary is the problem. Everyone is on a spectrum of neuro-diversity. Some people's diversity is deemed "unacceptable" arbitrarily.
"Everyone's a little autistic!"
Everyone I know, but that's selection bias.
yeah this smells exactly like "everyone's a little bit bi!" fuck this erasure bullshit.
Not true. This is why I dislike the "neurodiversity" trend. Just say autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc as they are without trying to link them with an umbrella term, it leads to the false idea that they are not disabilities/illnesses and even that everyone has something. Most people are neurotypical
they're not illnesses and that's not even a controversial statement. no mental health professional worth their salt would call autism or adhd illnesses
Yeah, stick to arguing semantics on 1/50 words instead of my point
it's a really important misconception, though. disabilities and disorders are not illnesses and should never be treated as such
this is the correct answer, as much as people here don't like it. the only reason neurotypical people are typical is that they're fit as workers in a class society. everyone has limitations, including neurotypicals, but our limitations make us misfit to a class society. we're not as able to output work consistently 40h per week and do what we're told without being told it
I'll rephrase as this seems to have triggered people:
Everyone is on a spectrum of varying ability.
Exactly! Goes for other conditions as well. One symptom of having a broken arm is sucking at tennis. I suck at tennis, so in a way, my arm is a little broken. And I can't see what's behind me, so I'm essentially 50% blind.
right, this is a garbage tier take. my disabilities are not a fucking identity spectrum.
