the stories we tell about neurodivergence tend to go in one of two directions:
1) either it is framed as a deficit, something to manage, accommodate, or medicate, or
2) it gets romanticized into some kind of superpower narrative that does not match the actual lived experience of struggling through systems that were not built for you.
what Neurodivergent is looking for is something in between, something that looks honestly at real people, at the full complexity of how their minds worked and how that played out across their lives, and lets you draw your own conclusions about what it means.
go listen, and if you have ever had any version of this experience yourself, I think you will find something in it that most coverage of these people never quite gets to.
