What if Neurotypicals were the ones who were always criticized at school? It's important to realize that a lot of the things neurodivergent's are criticized for often have nothing to do with education or learning.

Colorado Association of School Executives: 

Many neurodivergents will tell you that getting a job is no easy task because you have to get judged on neurotypical communication styles even if they have absolutely nothing to do with job requirements. 

In consequence job interviewing tactics can often be very ableist and discriminate against qualified neurodivergent individuals.

99% of ADHDers have a strong overwhelming reaction to rejection or perceived rejection. This is called RSD. 1/3 of ADHDers say it's the worst part of ADHD.

I've heard from more than a few people that they don't like labels. Typically this isn't true as we use labels all the time, what people don't like is the label of Autistic or ADHD.

Autistics and neurotypicals often don't understand one another but that's not because autistic style is awkward, it's just a different culture

Autistics and ADHDers often seem to have certain areas that they really enjoy and that light them up. Sometimes these things can be seen as obsessions from others but they are really ways to help the brain stay stimulated.

After Years of studying people and their communication patterns I have come to realize there is a deeper reason for this.

and my own experiences

I wrote this to people after I had told them about my AuDHD. Some had a hard time understand why I wanted to label myself as such or why I even qualified so I wrote this to explain. I also wrote this to explain why I needed to tell them.
