I like that neurodivergence is a great big broad category. Each individual type represents a very small population that is easy to ignore and scapegoat. Adding up the huge variety of neurodiversity, genetic and acquired, gives us enough numbers to get something done.

I am dyslexic, autistic and bipolar. Not one of these groups have enough numbers on there own to effect change. The same accommodations that I need to function with one issue are the same accommodations I need to deal with them all, adequate education, adequate health care, adequate tools & technology, adequate shelter, adequate nutrition, and an adequately civil society. Just like every other human on the planet.

We need to speak with one voice. How neurodivergence is dealt with is inadequate for all of us.

So that is how a sigh of relaxation looks

Boop the Snoot! It’s such a boopable snoot.

Hey even brain surgeon autistics need children’s toy autistics. Who else are we going to turn to when we are overwhelmed and need a deep dive into plushies!
