    Ima do the lemmy thing and take this too seriously haha. neuro divergent covers everything that isn’t neuro typical i.e. how society expects a brain to work. So the term covers not only ad(h)d and the autism spectrum but also things like ocd, trauma, (former) addiction, meditation masters, etc. saying there is a third thing next to neuro typical and neuro divergent is like saying there is a third thing next to pregnant and not pregnant

    I can suggest a book by Nick Walker about this that was very enlightening for me: “Neuroqueer Heresies: Notes on the Neurodiversity Paradigm, Autistic Empowerment, and Postnormal Possibilities” I am also open to other Book recommendations

    I’m afflicted by both ND and religious trauma.

    Honestly, the more I spoke about it with a therapist as an adult, the more horrified she became about how I was treated.

    Y’all ever been told you need to be cleansed of demons and pray for forgiveness in order to stop being an evil embarrassment of a person? Or that the reason you have an illness is because you don’t love God and aren’t trying hard enough?

    But don’t worry! It got worse.

      I’m mocking the ironic contrast of a supposed infographic with nonsense terms as well as the corporate laziness of not just using it but also not even glancing at the text before publishing.
