Re: Does the Neurotypical Person actually exist?

(Anonymous) 2021-12-20 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I'm physically incapable of touching a hot stove for longer than the split second it takes for the pain to register and my hand to automatically yank itself away. Maybe what the article meant was that some neurodivergent people lack that automatic reflex and will keep touching the stove? I'd give it the benefit of the doubt because neurodivergence is a wide net and works in multitudes of different ways. People tend to be unspecific enough when talking about what type of neurodivergence they mean and that's a different problem but I wouldn't assume this was totally made up.

I did however once see a post that said neurotypicals basically speak in code and when they say X they really mean Y. Like when they say "What are you watching?" they definitely always really mean "Can I join you?" and they expect you to know this instinctively. Which could also have been true of a small number of neurotypicals, but none of them are how I talk and I had no clue where most of the examples came from.
