(Neuro)typical!

"Why are you obsessing over some silly card game, what's happening in Gaza or your penguin collection?"
"For the same reason you are obsessed with hockey statistics, are hooked to The Kardashians and scream that everything you don't understand is 'woke'."

Why is it only weird when someone who is autistic or has ADHD is obsessed over something but is that same behaviour considered normal when displayed by a neurotypical person?
"Oh, you are neurodivergent and therefore can't aim all your attention at just one task at a time? You should just focus!"

"Okay, now tell a deaf person they should simply listen."

On the subject of brain, athlete Eileen Gu had something to say that hit hard:

"...you can control what you think. You can control how you think, and therefore you can control who you are."

Do you think people can simply change how their mind works?
