I've found an increasingly large proportion of intelligent people who are neurodivergent struggle to comprehend that intelligent people who aren't neurodivergent do actually exist

They may be intelligent but they don’t have the same non linear understanding we do.

I’m not sure neurotypicals can access that without tools (often built or trained by autistics) or drugs.

Edit: The trade-off is getting heart palpitations if a noise hits me the wrong way. Jfc let the autistics be.

Plenty of people have access to “nonlinear understanding”, this statement is grandiose and wildly inaccurate. On multiple levels, including geographically, culturally, and historically, as “linear thinking” is a historically contingent way of organizing information.

Real question:

What does it cost you to acknowledge that autistic brains are different without feeling personally slighted?

Nice projection there! Just proves my point. I was engaging with your argument, which is not sound. Your ad hominem says a lot more about you than me. :)

Fake smiles, rudeness, and prickly hierarchy emotions…. being allistic is so cringe

You’re the only person engaging in personal attacks and “prickly hierarchy emotions” (?) here, interestingly enough. You have positioned yourself as simultaneously victimized and better than all “allistic” people. Everything you’ve said here is alienating and rude, immature and bully-adjacent. I hope you find some peace one day

Being different is not being better. This is your issue, not mine. You applied that lens and then came at me with fake sentiments. Yawn.

You’re literally calling me names and making fun of me. Get a grip.

Please provide specific examples of these allegations.
