Re: Does the Neurotypical Person actually exist?

[(Anonymous)]

There does seem to be a growing trend of relatability-by-neurodivergence that on the one hand, can be a useful tool for people to vent/share about their situations, but on the other hand, tends to lay ALL issues at the ND table and, yeah, treat "neurotypical" as some other species (and frequently one that requires no empathy in kind, I've noticed).

This kind of shit absolutely didn't help me with my mental state at all because I was always assumed to be neurotypical, not having any of the "popular" mental illnesses (according to these kinds of posts), so that a) I ended up having to always be the understanding one in my group because everyone else has An Excuse but also b) it took me years to recognize that I actually did have anxiety that desperately needed treatment, because it wasn't As Bad As A Real Neurodivergent Person, according to the internet.

I considered myself neurotypical until I was treated for ADHD as an adult and medicated appropriately. I've never had depression, but I've begun to experience anxiety with perimenopause, which is super fun.

Yeah, that post sounds stupid, besides being inaccurate.

Anxiety isn't neurodivergence. It's a mental illness. Neurodivergence means things like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities. I have an anxiety diagnosis but am neurotypical, and my source on this is my psychiatrist, who I'm inclined to believe over some randos on the internet.
