You know, to be neurodiversity affirming means recognizing
That
The way that somebody
interacts with the world is not inherently broken.
Or wrong.
It's just different.
And we need to validate that and we shouldn't try to change people to fit what we consider normal.

Like when we talk about normal, we're talking about
an average of the normative population, but everybody is very different.
But when we try to
get an ADHD or to think themselves out of distraction.
You know, we use like behavioral techniques to say, oh no, you just have to think about it this way, without validating that their brain is wired differently.
Or when we try to

why they
communicate and relate to people the way that they do.
