Black and white thinking is pretty common in ASD though isn't it?
Yes, and this is why it's a disorder and can be a disability despite people saying things like "autism is my super power ". It's not funny when strict rigid thinking runs up against fluid reality. People make absolute rules in their heads and when the real world doesn't align with those rules they can suffer real distress.
I guess that's my point. I agree with you. ASD make up a large portion of ND. I don't personally like the ND identity even with an ADHD diagnosis (and have quite obvious symptoms when off my meds).
The reason I don't like it is because if you use it as an identity, suddenly my experience needs to be accepted by everyone. I need the medicine to function in this society. To appear as a functioning adult. If I just said to people "Im neurodivergent" and expect them to handle my lengthy train of thought and wild imagination I would probably not have a job.
It isn't race, ethnicity, a sexuality or gender - that is an identity that affects no one regardless of occupation or status except the individual. Neurodivergent disorders affect you, your family, your friends, your employer, your customers, your classmates, etc.
