MODERATORS
I mean, have you met many neurotypical people? It might be a confirmation bias caused by social sorting. I’m ‘quirky’ and I expect nothing less from the people I choose to hang with. It just turns out the quirks I gravitate toward are correlated with neurodiversity.
Aside from myself, there is only one other person in my family that has been formally diagnosed as being neurodivergent (autism). I was diagnosed when I was 32. So I found it interesting that even decades before that, I happened to tend to be closer to people that were formally diagnosed with ADHD. The vast majority of my classmates, coworkers and students that I have tutored were very likely neurotypical. But this wasnt true of most of the people I chose to be around.
I'm feeling scared because I'm worried I blacked out, made a new account and posted this.
I don't know how, but half of my students (I tutor online) are neurodivergent too, which suits me just fine.
Well the school system isn't very supportive of neurodivergent students so it isn't THAT surprising.
