    Oofers looks like this didn’t turn out so well. The phrasing is a bit harsh, but it seems like you were trying to learn and get new perspectives. The backlash seems a bit too strong here.

    I’d be curious for folks to express their experiences, or maybe help explain why they are so angry. I see that the title is not a very neutral description of neurodivergence but it’s also a very regular way to describe it at least from where I’m from.

        I’m pretty sure neurodivergence and learning disabilities are nearly synonyms. I know it’s a square-rectangle relationship but I think most can parse what ya mean with context. Fair if you can’t. Seeing as ya stated you have some learning disability and idk what it is.

        My girlfriend has pretty intense ADHD and has had lots of intense ups and downs with school. If you want me to ask her anything I’d be happy to.
