I often think of neurodiversity as operating systems. Most people, the neurotypicals, are running on Windows. But us neurospicy people, we run on Linux. There are a lot of distros, different, but still kinda similar in some ways, you're usually not taught how to operate them, have to find out a lot by yourself though it isn't necessarily hard to learn if you'really given the opportunity and your environment just lets you be without too much expectations to run Windows software. And mostly, the normies don't get it and can't be bothered to learn about it. (Also there's Mac but that's those weird people who say they are different but really only do it for the clout. Or they're just artists.)
Tbh I'm getting a little tired of neurodivergence being worn like a badge of distinction. People who are neurodivergent aren't necessarily smarter, more creative or in any other way better than people who aren't. I'm neurodivergent myself, but so are Musk and Trump FFS.
Musk maybe, but Trump? I doubt it. I think he's just an asshole.
Yeah I don't think narcissistic personality disorder is considered neurodivergent.
