    Murdoc Addams 🧛🏻:ri: 🇨🇦 (murdoc@autistics.life)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Nov-2024 18:06:29 JSTMurdoc Addams 🧛🏻:ri: 🇨🇦Murdoc Addams 🧛🏻:ri: 🇨🇦

    Whoa, just had a thought: There are many reasons why Harry Potter is popular, but I just thought of one that may resonate with neurodivergent people in particular.

    Child grows up in a world that doesn't understand him and generally treats him very poorly. Then he is told by other people that the reason for this is because he is different, he is special. Now I get that pretty much everyone wants to feel special, but for us NDs, maybe it's something different.

    We watch this child go to a place where everyone, despite their many differences, are just like him in a very important way. They understand him, and share and indulge his interests. But most importantly, he receives support from a huge community of people based on this difference from the "normals". He feels at home, and he thrives.

    Idk, I just woke up so maybe I'm missing something and this is just the universal appeal after all, nothing special for NDs. I guess we'll see. Let me know what you think.
