Neurodiversity can be influenced by adversity as traumatic experiences shape our responses and interactions with the environment. Adversity can lead to the development of hidden talents, as noted by psychologist Bruce Ellis. Individuals who have faced trauma may develop practical intelligence that is often overlooked in traditional educational settings. Research on autism reveals that non-autistic individuals exhibit biases that autistic individuals do not, showcasing diverse perspectives on rationality and decision-making.
