@Serena@lgbtqia.space Personally, I feel it's dangerous to think this way, as it inevitably leads to to elitism. Though, I understand that when someone has been treated as lesser their whole life, actually being more evolved is a seductive prospect.
I like the theory of neurotypes across the board, beyond Autism / ADHD, and that anthropological theory that Autism / ADHD has always existed amongst homo-sapiens, as a key natural skill set, important to the survival of the tribe as a whole.
