    I am fully expecting that the vast majority of people are neurodivergent in some way, meaning ‘neurotypical’ is actually not typical and most people are coping. Or maybe our expectations for ‘normal’ are a bit too high.

      I think it’s your last sentence. I’ve never actually met a completely “normal” person who was able to actually keep up with society’s outrageous productivity demands

      I fully expect that the vast majority of people are neurotypical and what we call neurodivergent is just what coping looks like under the batshit insane societal structures we’ve inherited.
