Neurodiversity

I am so glad to see this thread! I know that I am not the only person that may have misread or interpreted online communications due to someone having a neurological issue (I don't like using disorder). I have a nephew with Asberger's that has certainly had a lot of negative stuff thrown at him and been very misunderstood. Certainly know a few stroke victims/survivors as well as other brain injured people.

Thinking a lot (for myself to pay attention to) about how it can be very difficult to communicate online anyway, but, if someone has a neurotypal dimension involved, it could be all the more difficult.

So, thank you all for making me aware!
