[P] I want to further my case here that the reason NT hiverarchy turns to parasitism is due to impaired imagination that can't conceive of mutualism (which requires original thinking).

Aurism: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1750946723002088
ADHD: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7543022/

These are just two atudies, but not much research is done on this. Still, the evidence that does exist seems to support my belief, and its the reason why ND is resistant to Dark Triad developments, unlike NTs.

No, I'm not like your child. I'm Autistic, but I'm still human. Humans are a diverse species.

You can't remove autism from a person. For Autistic people, there is no part of our experience, from thought to action, that is not influenced by being Autistic. If you remove the autism, you remove the person. Assuming that struggling profoundly means a person needs curing is just as flawed as ignoring them in the first place.

Marathon "agile" planning sessions are a great way to exclude neurodivergent people. Sustained attention and social interaction wrapped into one. There has to be a better way.

You're telling me it DOESN'T belong in a huge pile in the middle of the floor?!?

Yeah....then I don't remember a damn thing they said.

Yet again, my partner fails at an interview for a proofreading job she is massively qualified to do because she is somewhat #neurodivergent and struggles to think on her feet.. The feedback is always the same, use the STAR model but no matter how much she prepares she can't do interviews... But she makes her (meagre) living as a proofreader and people often say she is the best proofreader they've had... Why doesn't that matter more and what is she supposed to do? I'm devastated #neurodiversity
