Good article, though I will go one step further and say that a #neurotypical therapist will _never_ be appropriate for a #neurodivergent client. There will always be too many barriers in place, both #masking related and understanding-related. They just don't get it. Training and learning is simply no substitute for lived experience when you're talking about neurological differences, especially #autism.
This is my firm and unwavering view and is based on personal experience of 3 psychiatrists, 2 counsellors and 2 psychologists. Now I live my life without any form of therapy. I'm an intelligent person and I'm making way more progress by figuring things out myself.

Please help me out with a theory.
Do you consider yourself to be neurodivergent or neurotypical*?
Do you rely more on your cognitive skills or intuition?
*If you don't know what neurodivergent or neurotypical mean, let's assume you're neurotypical. Because that's what 'typical' means - that that's the assumption.

"I was talking to my close #family, and we're as neurodiverse as hell. And I was talking to, I think it was probably my grandson, and also my daughter. We were talking about how apparently neurotypical people favor vertical/ hierarchical social arrangements. They feel more comfortable if there are people above them and people below them, and they know where they are.
#Neurodiverse people tend to favor more #horizontal social arrangements.
So I was thinking about this, and I came up with what I think is a brilliant solution: that we should #medicate the #neurotypical. [Douglas: "Exactly!!"] Because it's them causing all the problems, you know."

https://adrianlambert.substack.com/p/why-some-people-see-collapse-earlier it helps to know that you are not crazy to think the world is burning down right now, and no one is acting appropriately.

@lifewithtrees Oh.
#neurobland is the opposite of #neurospicy.
So like #neurodivergent vs. #neurotypical, but without the connotation that the later would be more common (or even "healthier").
If you have not hear about it before it's because I came upp with it ca 10 minutes ago.

Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?
Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?https://elliq.com/pages/how-it-works

#psychology 🧌 time, maybe #neurodivergent thinking is alternative modes of seeking. Maybe #autism is diffuse thinking by default, a breadth-first exploration of a problem space, and the #neurotypical is just goal-oriented and goes depth first. (Graph theory/traversal algorithm talk is leaking so sorry about that)
Maybe #OCD is just attempts at producing a controlled environment, maybe #mood #disorders are rapid context switching to influence decision making in the probability distribution.

I just.. I'm severely unnerved by incurious people.
They just seem to float through life never asking any questions ever and HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?
'No Thoughts Head Empty' is a meme for crying out loud!
Is this a Neurospicy thing?
Do all the Neurotypicals just not think to ask questions ??
I feel quite quite mentally unstable just considering it.

I need translation for an easier ecosia search.
How do allistic people describe "nauseous above knee"?
It's like the 2 or 3 inches above the top of my right kneecap.
I'm literally only getting separate results for "feeling sick" and "knee / joint pain".
The area above my kneecap feels nausea. How tf do I research that?#medicine #MedMastodon #health #healthCare #language #term #HowTo #help #tips #idea #ideas #autism #autistic #allism #allistic #neuroDiverse #neuroDivergent #neuroTypical #neuroType #neuroExpected #NeuroDefault #NeuroSupport #NeuroSupported #NeuroAccommodation #NeuroAccommodated #word #words #comms #Communication #Communicate

Autistic people will do very well with cluade.ai. I have it criticise me at the end of every session. NeuroTypical peiople would not do that. It is purely rational, I do not have to worry about its emotions. Neurotypical people will waste mental resourcs being polite. I can happily look at a terminal all day and not talk to anyone.

1/2Unfortunately, masking, while very stressful, is a necessary part of dealing with the #neurotypical people out there.
Even with masking, so many of us are socially awkward, or just cannot socialize at all.

I think, after 20 years since my diagnosis as an #Aspie, I'm finally able to "pass" as a #neurotypical successfully if I choose.
I just had an epiphany that, to me at least, might be the "key" to unlocking this secret - small talk's banality IS important! #Gossip MATTERS! It's mandatory! We're about to get all #philosophy up in here!
See, you know how we all have two faces - the one that we show to the world, and the one that we keep to ourselves or our closest companions? The Outer Self and the Inner Self?
That's what's called the "#Human Condition", also known as the "Hedgehog's Dilemma" (reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog%27s_dilemma ).
So summarize all of that for you, the long and short of it is this:
We are individuals that want to "join" with others (think "relationships" of all sorts).
That creates two concepts - The #Self, and The #Other
We want and desire for The Self and The Other to be one, to be merged, joined, ultimately. But, there's a couple of problems with that.
There's the fear of LOSING The Self when joining with The Other.
And, there's the fear of rejection from The Other. From being cast aside, forgotten, ignored.
So The Self, in defense of itself, creates The Wall. The Wall divides us, keeps us separated, but safe.
It's a translucent wall - and we control the opacity. Through it, we choose how much of The Self to show to The Other, how much we risk rejection, or fear of being absorbed and losing our individuality.
And that's where "small talk" comes into play. By using "small talk", #neurotypical people clear the opacity of their wall; risking vulnerability (just a little!) to The Other. Showing just a LITTLE bit more of The Self.
Every "small talk" conversation should be thought of in these terms:
The Self: "Oh Hi, Other! I'm a person! A real human with needs, desires, feelings, emotions. Are you?"
The Other: "Hey there Self, yeah I too am a real human with needs, desires, feelings, emotions! We should totally chill more often!"
The Self: "A'ight, lets hang, my man!"
The Other: "True Dawg, True. For sho!"
I have no idea why that turned into a #racist remake of the movie Friday at the end, but the point is this.
Every bit of small talk, every communication between you and another person about the minuscule happenings in your life, in their life... it's tiny peeks through The Wall. It allows for a collection of "mini-risks", that allow neurotypicals to "gel" and learn to start to trust each other, to build stronger bonds.
To really start to merge... just a little closer to each other.
Now that I know that... I don't think I'll see any public gatherings, informal meetings, get-togethers the same way again.
Or, to sum it all up in a horribly culturally-appropriating way:
"Chillin' wit yer homies makes you a pack, yo!
Family."

And here’s my biggest #frustration of the past few days. Like I only have #256GB of storage in my phone, why is 175 of it filling up the majority of the space? You were the #neurodivergent choice, #Apple, the alternative. Why are you being #neurotypical in not telling me exactly what this data is for? That way, I can at least get rid of the one #app that’s causing all this bloat. Or at least give an option to clear this manually, as it’s not really necessary when my #backup is only 12Gb. #SMH.

The word "conduct" in "this is no way to conduct yourself" ( זו לא צורה להתנהל) is the #neurotypical equivalent of the word "peace" in Kwame Ture's "peace is a white man's word".
Go conduct yourselves y'all.

People with #ADHD, #autism, #dyslexia say #AIagents are helping them succeed at work
A recent study from the UK Department for Business and Trade found that #neurodiverse workers were 25% more satisfied with #AI assistants and were more likely to recommend the tool than #neurotypical respondents.
The study involved 1,000 users of #Microsoft 365 #Copilot from October through December of 2024

[P] I'm hoping over time we'll see more trans folks coming out against DERTs. I don't want to see the trans movement get dragged to the political right, because those fuckers are just going to outlaw their meds. There has to be a united, lefty WE that doesn't include the vile bigotry of those who "fit in" with vileness. No TERFs, no SWERFs, no DERTs. Forgiveness must always be there, but we can't tolerate hate.

[P] I guess even enby is too "weird" for them. Welp, that's some Grade A hypocrisy they're trotting out, considering how hard they've fought to not be seen as "weird" themselves, while genderqueer and alterhuman allies had their backs. Hey, DERTs? I think this knife is yours. Thanks for stabbing so many allies in the back. We're amassing quite the knife collection. Betrayal isn't a thing decent people do.

[P] Frickin'... DERTs (Dysphoria-Exclusionary Radical Trans) be winding me up again by invalidating anything that isn't a gender binary. Non-binary is so fake, you guys. As an enby, that fucking hurts. It hurts me when they're out to get xenogenders or being otherphobic (invalidating alterhuman dysphoria). I get people being bigots about us otherkin, because lemmigs that that "Ug ugg! Weird is bad!" reaction. But...
