Is there any actual reason "neurodiversity" as a concept needs to exist, or is it just an easy way out for people with adhd or whatever who don't want to work on their mental illnesses?

why does it need to exist
that's like calling pedophiles "sexually diverse" or someone without arms "physically diverse"
i have adhd and i'm very introverted but i see that i need to work to overcome that not pretend it's normal or even worse, positive

It can be positive though. Take einstein's unique brain for example. He was unable to talk for years as a child, but gave us relativity and hasn't been proven wrong yet.

Mental illness is literally a social construct in the sense that we define what is and what is not an illness.

The concepts of neuroplasticity and neurodiversity are a good step forward a better understanding

This. It's probably good for the majority of society to have similar brains, but having some people who think differently provides insights that the normies can't see.

not all neurodiversity is negative. If someone can learn much faster whatever way they need to do that should be used. I'm only a decent listener but I can learn by reading much faster than most people

Probably the latter. It's quite difficult for me to see my tism as anything other than a negative.

It seems that autism coms from having an extra ability, not the opposite.

It's simply descriptive.

Oh, it's WELL beyond that shit. Go see the crazy shit the tarjan center is up to in shoveling bennies to 'tards.

>extra ability
yeah but is it really worth the drawbacks
i can have six fingers on one hand and could probably find some use for that but it wouldn't be considered normal let alone positive

It's an extra ability. The only negative is that it makes it hard to empathize with those who don't have it. The people with it have no trouble functioning among themselves.

Hands with six fingers are better than hands with five:

okay i'll give you the six fingers thing, but autists and adhd sufferers are fucking weird, it's harder for them to function in society, to get gfs, to socialize etc. Not all of them are smart too.

But the problem only exist with people without the extra ability. When you bring autists together, there is no problem.
