@inthehands Yes, this whole thread. Basically how I've thought about this for years. There's no such thing as a neurotypical person. Statistically speaking, pretty much everyone is #neurodivergent.

I do think the next question to ask is, what characterizes the neurotype we think of as neurotypical? I do think there is a most-common neurotype that dominates modern society, even if it's not the average of human cognition or the baseline from which other neurotypes diverge. Something about being able to intuit emotional subtext from nonverbal affect, along with an obsession with social status and inability to focus without social support.
