It's called masking ^^
But no, neurodivergent people have to mask heavily (in some situations) to be considered as "socially acceptable". We have literally changed ourselves to be more engaging and to be seen as "normal" to neurotypicals. Neurodivergent people (especially those born afab) are expected to keep quiet and mask all day every day until they break. Neurodivergent people can also hyperfocus and find so many different ways to phrase a sentence or set of instructions to make the point they are trying to get across as clear as humanly possible. It's actually really interesting, if you wanna talk more about this lmk!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE ARE JUST... BETTER?????
LIKE, MY NEURODIVERGENT TEACHER IS WAYYY BETTER AT ENGAGING WITH THE CLASS AND ACCURATELY ANSWERING STUDENT QUESTIONS THAN MY NEUROTYPICAL TEACHER
NEURODIVERGENT WORKERS ARE AT LEAST 50% MORE EFFICIENT THAN NEUROTYPICAL WORKERS AT WORKPLACES BC THEIR HYPERFIXATION AND NEED TO K N O W MAKES THEM EFFICIENT AND EQUIPPED FOR THE JOB
AND EVEN IN SMALL TALK, NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE COMMIT 80% MORE TO THE CONVERSATION THAN NEUROTYPICAL PEOPLE. LIKE, IF I COMMENT ABOUT THE WEATHER, A NT PERSON WOULD GO "YEAH, IT'S REALLY HOT" BUT IF A ND PERSON IS THERE, THEY GO "YEAH, DID YOU KNOW THAT IT'S BECAUSE THE STORM IN THE NORTH IS LEECHING THE COLD HERE IT'S WHY IT'S HOT? HERE ARE 6 FACTS ABOUT THE WEATHER" AND PROVIDE A GOOD BACK AND FORTH
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M NEURODIVERGENT MYSELF, BUT I FIND IT IN GENERAL THAT THEY'RE MORE WILLING TO COMMIT AND DO THEIR BEST AT SOMETHING.

The first single to my bands debut album was just released and if you help us share this song by reblogging this I will give a weirdly detailed review of your blog.
