Am I right in thinking if you weren't neurodiverse you wouldn't be human? What a pointless word

[–] Emanuel@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know if this is a matter of being right, but I think neurodivergent people are fine. Neurotypical people are fine. They're just people, after all. What defines humanity lies somewhere else.

Neurodivergence has a lot to do with our current culture and technology. It seems to be about what is or isn't functional in the greater system, not some fundamental property. It's a spectrum with no one really being at the same point, but most people falling within a specific range. The problem is that it's a relative term that depends on context, not that the word doesn't have meaning.
