"I was talking to my close #family, and we're as neurodiverse as hell. And I was talking to, I think it was probably my grandson, and also my daughter. We were talking about how apparently neurotypical people favor vertical/ hierarchical social arrangements. They feel more comfortable if there are people above them and people below them, and they know where they are.
#Neurodiverse people tend to favor more #horizontal social arrangements.
So I was thinking about this, and I came up with what I think is a brilliant solution: that we should #medicate the #neurotypical. [Douglas: "Exactly!!"] Because it's them causing all the problems, you know."

"Some people use #Daywalker as a metaphor for feeling out of place. Just like most Daywalkers are half human and half #vampire, some people refer to themselves as Daywalkers to show that they feel like they’re not quite one thing or another.
(...) Some #neurodiverse people might refer to themselves as “Daywalkers” because they feel like they don’t feel like they quite fit a diagnosis, but aren’t quite the same as neurotypical people, either."

"and like i said i'm not accepted in autism communities because i think differently and instead of that being accepted because they should know how that feels... you know, they think differently to the general population so they create a community. And then I pop up and go I also think different but i do think different to you too... can I still be part of it? And I get shouted out attacked bullied you know kicked-out, #blocked ! Which is weird because you'd think #autistic people would understand how it feels to treat people like that. But i digress"

I feel like you don't grasp very FUNDAMENTAL aspects of life on Earth

There are non=humans on earth who are incredibly similar to us. Brains inside #Kittens #Dogs #Cows #Pigs - and they communicate with each other and have social systems.

We can't communicate very well with birds or pigs or dogs! #Neurodiversity isn't a #Human only problem

There are even popular books that compare #Autism to animal behaviors.

Do you believe humans are the only species with diversity of brains on Planet Earth? #NeuroDiverse

"One can see looking at the young people today the myths they are living by. I mean everyone is going around in a masquerade. And the only ones that are hard to take are the one’s who take their masquerade seriously. The real wonderful thing is to play the game—that’s as man has developed always. In the very early days of our human race, people made believe they were animals, and that is how societies began. You have totemism; you have masked dances; you have all kinds of animal games that people are playing. And these are supposed to invite the animals— and they did. Then people began playing that they were plants, that if they buried themselves they would be born again — something like that. And so you played that game." - Joseph Campbell, year 1974

You think your guys were, McLuhan and Campbell?

Even if they were, they are drawing upon and interpreting a world of thought that post dates truly ancient thinking and predates the modern discovery of neurodiversity"

RE: " discovery of #neurodiversity " #NeuroDiverse

The DISCOVERY is VERY OLD. #Language #Communications

>>>>> Marshall McLuhan #Canadian is everything about ALL FORMS of communications. Not just oral, not just hand gestures and body language eye contact ( All #Autism issues ) - but ALL forms of communications. Writing, audio, electronic, etc. <<<

RE: " discovery of neurodiversity "

The #Metaphor of The Tower of Babel story is recorded in Genesis 11:1–9 - in the #Torah is #BrainDiversity the experience of people not being able to translate #BrainToBrain

"The Tower of Babel story is between 2,500 and 4,200 years old, depending on whether you are looking at the written date, the estimated time of the events, or the broader ancient oral traditions."

This is describing #MindBlindness and other #AutismSpectrumDisorder diversity #ADHD #ASD

It is not a modern concept, and people killing and murdering and war with each other over brain to brain #Egomania conflicts is not new. Husband wife murder-suicide, etc over language #Ego conflicts.

In the #neurodiverse community, we call this #hatespeech

It's a completely reasonable reaction to avoid things that hurt you. That's not weakness. That's not avoidance in the pathological sense. That's just a nervous system doing exactly what nervous systems are supposed to do.
