Neurodiversity

Violaine,

You are lucky. I feel like I have to explain everything under the sun online. In real time, no - never. I think it is because I am lousy with words.

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!

asperger spectrum wiring = atypical / AT

non.spectrum wiring = neurotypical / NT

mostly, i think of others as being on a spectrum somewhere with something [hay! issues, quirks, ways of processing info, experiences, et c. cannot exclusive to me!

]- & so i believe people can meet in the middle to "see" each other-

however, when something happens - and it does/will !! it can be so small, and terribly clear to me, yet the "thing" whatever it is, causes confusion elsewhere, i realise, how a "whatever file" at times is just going to be necessary - between AT/NT ; NT/NT ; and AT/AT !
