As time goes on, i am more and more convinced i am neurodirevergent, but it's unclear in what way. (My wife is an educational psychologist and agrees with this).

Then again, i think just like the "there's no average pilot" story (thestar.com/news/insight/when-), i don't think we can point at any individual and say "that is what neurotypical is".

Some of us have labels for some of our traits. Other traits don't have a label yet.

@demofox I have a bunch of traits that are typically attributed to neurodivergence, though when listening to stories of other neurodivergent people I realise that my situation is milder by orders is magnitude. Still, for a large part of my life I've been wondering whether I'm not neurodivergent or I was just extremely lucky for my whole life.

@lisyarus @demofox I really hate that term - it's completely useless. If they do ever find the truly non-divergent brain, it should be pickled and put on display.

@TomF @demofox Whatever it means, it's shorter to type every time instead of "behaviourally different in a noticeable way from what is considered to be the norm by the majority" or smth like that 😓

@lisyarus @demofox So narcolepsy? Agoraphobia? Sneeze in bright sunlight? No, of course not - it's usually used to mean a blend of autism or OCD. So... there you go - those are more informative terms.
