I found this useful.

 

Interesting, and something that I've been thinking about for a while now.

I don't think the "bad outweighs the good." I think we're kept down.

I'll be upfront with you: you're right, but in some ways, I think you're wrong.

There is no "superpower" from being neurodiverse, but I do recognize that there are benefits to my extreme case of OCD (with Aspergers).

The problem is that capitalist society doesn't accommodate us; instead, we're constantly accommodating NTs.

As shallow as this analysis may seem, I also want to emphasize that neurodiversity is neither good nor bad. It comes with its perks but also its weaknesses, from my experience anyways.

The problem is that we're held to a certain template and in some ways that template goes beyond even what an NT is required to go through.

Anyways, I'm still learning about this stuff, but I kinda agreed and disagreed with where you were coming from.

Good read.

 

First "real" post for this channel.

Enjoy!

 

Felt we needed one for future reference.
