my single favourite saying in regards to neurodivergence is that we don’t generally need to treat people, we need to treat society.

in the past people largely just figured out something they’re good at, court jesters were apparently often just straight up autistic people who didn’t have a filter and this made them useful for rulers as a bullshit detector, and i’d imagine a lot of adhd people might have done odd jobs here and there so things don’t get repetitive.

it’s like how nowadays autism is basically synonymous with science and technology, that’s where the neurodivergence is really actively beneficial
