i think the fact that SO many people realized they're neurodivergent in quarantine says something about how pressured we are to mask

/srs this entire quarantine thing has been so eye opening for so many people and what does that say about neurotypical society pressuring us to mask our nd traits..
UM IM@BLOWING UP SO MUCH?? follow me im funny and cool
also to clarify for those who are asking: neurodivergent covers a lot of different disorders/disabilities including autism, adhd, ocd, dyslexia (and other surrounding things such as dyscalculia and dysgraphia) , some forms of ptsd and psychosis i believe, tourettes, and many more
+ synesthesia, hyperlexia, meares-irlen syndrome
what doesn't count as neurodivergent is mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression. these are categorized as neuro-A-typical because of their chemical imbalances

neurotypical is people who don't have any of these disorders.
and another thing that seems to be controversial?? adhd and autism are not the same. they may share many traits, but they are different disorders and have different diagnoses for that reason
