Neuroqueering! It gives you fun situations everyday for sure.
What does this mean? I've never heard the term before.
To keep it too simple, it's neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.
In a more elaborated definition: it's subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.
When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you're heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.
Wait, what does being heterosexual or not have to do with this?
redacted
It's about social norms and the idea of normal and the average person. It's why I wrote "for example". It's one study case among others in this field.
I’m neurodivergent and still have absolutely no idea what you just said.
