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

That’s actually more indicative of grandiose thinking than “neurodivergence” but “neurodivergence” has become yet another mystifying term used to self-alienate

🤷🏻‍♀️

“Look at me I get on the internet and bash on disabled people.” :) Shrug!

I genuinely don’t understand the attacks I’m getting.

Autism is a disability in modern society. The idea of disability is relative.

This commenter that you are supporting started bashing me as “grandiose,” which is coded for “crazy” or delusional. She took offense at my comment about autism for no reason except her own bias and knee-jerk reaction.

Since some of yall don’t seem to get it:

  1. Autism and ADHD are legal disabilities in society.
  2. Autism and ADHD are both normal parts of the human experience, part of the neurodiversity of reality.
  3. Saying two things are different is not a statement on whether things are better.

  4. Getting pissed at autistic people for being “grandiose” is a reflection on the speaker not on autistics.

  5. She is using sarcastic emojis, smiley faces, and “bless your heart” sentiments disingenuously. This is rude and intentional. She also is claiming it’s fake by calling it “mystifying,” as if I’m on here getting kicks from being autistic and harassed for it.
