This brilliant video by Mica, @PonderfulYT, is as clear an explanation as you’ll find of the neurodiversity movement, neurodivergence and neurotypicality, and their relation to disability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iicSLx19pc

And it’s not just good because Boba tries to steal the show! 😻

I wish we in the #NeurodiversityMovement are going to find a solution so that humen can more easily find and build #NeurodiverseGroups and teams in whatever situation.

I believe we have a strength to see things which other people can't because of the "they think that they are normal" thing, and "they don't feel they have anything to search for in that regard"...

...while we in the #Neurodiversity #Movement know that there are many #neurotypes and our job is to find them so that we can build even more #neurodiverse #groups, thus strenghtening the neurodiversity in those groups

#AutismResearch has done its course in my life, it was only Neurodiversity that made #Autism make any sense at all to me.

Actually before I even heard that word "Neurodiversity" I met very #neurodiverse individuals in the #AutisticCommunity.

#FaceToFace I met them. I had to determine myself if Autism was a real thing or not. #ItWasReal and #ItIsReal!

Personal encounters with many individuals fueled my #interest in autism and as I met more and more I started to be able to identify neurotypes.
Everything starts with "is this person like me? Why or why not? In which ways is this person like me and in which ways is this person not like me? Does this person think like me or just happens they now have some similar interests but interests come and go right?".

When you think you are an #explorer.

"Person A reminded me about person S whom I met at that other autism encounter if I remember, hmm" and then "Person G also reminds me about person A".
#ThinkingIsImportant!
#ThinkingIsSoImportant!

When I got #diagnosed there was nothing really special about the #diagnosis aside from them finding that I belong to a #SpectrumOfNeurotypes #Neurotypes.

The current #science though lacks the ability to tell what #neurotype I am, which is bad! My unique #Neurotype is #unknown.

#Science is about expanding #knowledge and apparently there is #NoKnowledge about this yet.
Just #theories and we don't even know who is out there with a #TreasureTrove of #UnsharedTheories.

We in the #NeurodiversityMovement are the #LastHope to find them a solution and find us(#humanity) a solution to #ExpandNeurodiversity. #Neurodiversity.

The Neurodiversity movement's stepping stone is neurotypes and the lack of knowledge in that area is #alarming, makes us weaker.

Hope escapes us last though.

I have hope and belief in that the Neurodiversity Movement is going to find a way, some of you #Thinkers out there will find a solution one day which we are all gonna enjoy.

#HopeDiesLast

#Thinkers of the #NeurodiversityMovement where are you?

Still interested to talk about #Neurotypes as long as somebody else who is also from the #NeurodiversityMovement is interested to have a conversation with me.

If not, you don't need to, it's cool.

I'm here to work on the #Fundament of #Neurodiversity.

Everything else is #sidestepping for me.

I don't wanna sidestep anymore.

I'm ready to use my brain for the good of the #NeurodiversityMovement if you are ready to collaborate with me.

I'm changing my bio description from:

Diagnosed #Aspergers and considering myself #Neurodivergent and #Autistic. Taking ideas apart, then putting them back together, then taking them apart, rinse and repeat, that's me. Learning from experience, empirical knowledge. Thinking...forever.

I want to focus more on #NeurodivergentTerminology.

Medical language helps in identifying my neurotype but it does not define me.

Actually to identify my #neurotype text won't help alone since as a #NeurodiversityMovement so far I've not seen anyone publicly come out with a theory about neurotypes.

I'm also to blame for that.
