I am recently discovering that I am what clinicians call neurodivergent. Reading these pages I am struck by how often we refer to how we think differently to so called "neurotypical" people. It does make me ask, aren't they boring? They think in straight lines one step at a time.
Actually if 1% of the population are ASD then in statistical terms we are normal. True t the e nd of the distribution. But still very much normal.
