    Not true. This is why I dislike the “neurodiversity” trend. Just say autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc as they are without trying to link them with an umbrella term, it leads to the false idea that they are not disabilities/illnesses and even that everyone has something. Most people are neurotypical

      they’re not illnesses and that’s not even a controversial statement. no mental health professional worth their salt would call autism or adhd illnesses

          it’s a really important misconception, though. disabilities and disorders are not illnesses and should never be treated as such
