There is no one type of intelligence. There are many types, and to declare one “normative” and another “deficient” is rigid and lazy thinking. I’m ADHD. I prefer the term “neurodivergent”, but even that’s a loaded word. “Divergent” from what? What’s the baseline? All I really know is My way of looking at and dealing with the world is different from most peoples. Some of it isn’t so good. Some of it gives me an advantage that other people don’t have.

Life was better when we didn't have to have a name and a "diagnosis" for everything. Yeah, people are different in a whole lot of different ways. Yay! It would be boring if we were all "average".
