I’ve had this question in my brain for weeks and I don’t know where to put it. I guess I chose here because maybe someone else has had this same question and found answers. Maybe it’s a stupid question actually.
But what is it like to be Neurotypical?
I am not confident I have known a single Neurotypical person, at least not well. They are apparently the vast majority of people, but I think everyone I’ve ever been close to was ND. As a late diagnosed AuDHD person, I find myself now analyzing every human I interact with trying to figure out how they are different than me, or how they are similar. I feel like I see the ghost of Neurodivergence in everyone and can’t recognize neurotypicality when I see it.
What are the signs and symptoms of neurotypicality?
Most neurotypical people I know tend to be incredibly stupid and have narrow views of everything, including the scope of their own hobbies and passions.
But maybe that’s just because I don’t know many people and am in an area full of those kinds of people 🤷🏻♂️
:(
It’s kind of been my experience too. I have a general anger towards NTs because they discount us while they are generally really shallow, easily influenced, and prefer to outsource their critical thinking to others. And I am treated by them in very infantile ways. 🤔
