@StevenSaus @actuallyautistic You’ve reminded to publish a blog post about this! 😁 https://www.lauralangdon.io/blog/the-neuroverse/

My thesis is that the existence of a neurotypical brain is mathematically impossible. 👀

Sure, just as there is nobody who is actually "average."

At the same time, the more I poke at my cognition compared to that of others, the more I realize that there at least a sub-set of allistics who not only have different logical "givens" about how they think, but ultimately cognate in a way that is radically different from mine in a way that is almost painful to emulate.

The neurotypicals outnumber any one variety of atypicals.

I believe atypicals en masse make up a huge percentage of the population.

Until recently, we were isolated.

Change is here. It's slow now, but growing. Because atypicals have a bunch in common, and respect each other's needs.

That's why, when the reactionaries finish with LGBT and PoC, they're coming for us. Best we fight them here, now.

Queer, autistic, mixed race, poor...

And tight groups at 400yds.

They think we're weak just because we're not stereotypical cavemen.
