I’ve had this question in my brain for weeks and I don’t know where to put it. I guess I chose here because maybe someone else has had this same question and found answers. Maybe it’s a stupid question actually.
But what is it like to be Neurotypical?
I am not confident I have known a single Neurotypical person, at least not well. They are apparently the vast majority of people, but I think everyone I’ve ever been close to was ND. As a late diagnosed AuDHD person, I find myself now analyzing every human I interact with trying to figure out how they are different than me, or how they are similar. I feel like I see the ghost of Neurodivergence in everyone and can’t recognize neurotypicality when I see it.
What are the signs and symptoms of neurotypicality?
That was a cathartic read. Thank you for linking the book!
You are very welcome! Here’s an interesting read on the NT hierarchy thing vs. autistic people: https://medium.com/@catmailing/i-am-a-late-diagnosed-autistic-woman-who-works-in-the-tech-industry-157e7a049e3d
