  • It's more to the point that tasks are easier for neurotypical people to accomplish because the world was built for their minds. Neurodivergent people have to build up skills and workarounds for functions that seem to come naturally to NTs, eventually creating a mosaic of little crutches and scripts to follow in order to fit in or even function at all in modern society.

    NDs don't have "the box." NTs are born with "the box." Society says you must stand on the box (that it's assumed everyone has inherently) in order to participate. So the ND makes their box out of the many tiny tools and workarounds they build to "stand on the box" that they don't have.














  • Actually, that may not be a face of disgust. That cat is inducing the scent into their mucus ducts behind their 2 large top canines. They channel up into the nose, and unlike humans and dogs, cats are scentblind to anything airborn, and need to encorporate the chemicals into a fluid. It takes them a second of "mouth breathing" after smelling a thing to trigger the scent response in their brain. I had a cat that made the most disgusted face whenever we gave her wet food, but then she always burried her snout straight to the bottom of the tin.
