"Johnson says that this affinity for the sex “woman” arose out of the work that her mother did to help people live, to allow her, the young Johnson, and her siblings, et cetera, to live. And what we call “femininity” in a political sense is that legacy—that history of life-making. We have to understand this history in this way. We have to understand these movements that I’ve listed as the substance of feminism. Which is to say that the goal of something called “feminism” is to generalize these conditions as daily life, not to escape them: to make everybody collectively responsible for the kinds of provision that Johnson’s mother produced."—Emma Heaney

Does #neurotypicality exist in reality, i.e. are some people really #neurotypical while others are really #neurodivergent?

Or is it all dependent on context, so that one person may be neurotypical in one setting and neurodivergent in another setting?

To what degree may there be structural parallels between #neurotypicality and #whiteness or #cisness?

I'm not well oriented in thinking about #neurodiversity but hope that someone could recommend any good text that touches on the abovementioned questions.
