This chapter discusses the social construction of categories like neurotypical and neurodivergent, exploring the temptation to label certain behaviors or traits as divergent based on a norm that may not be representative of the entire population.
Welcome to the February 2024 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
