The whole way I thought about being #neurodivergent changed when I realized that neurotypical didn't mean normal or healthy, and wasn't the baseline from which other, inferior neurotypes diverged. It's just another neurotype that happens to be the most common one, so it dominates and almost always gets its way.

As a queer person who grew up in straight society, it was easy for me to understand that one type being more common means nothing about it being better than another. Start from there, and it's easier to see our differences as just differences, instead of seeing differences as deficits or impairments.
