@PatrickDFarley @sentientist And having learned to live with it, the "symptoms" are triggered by specific environmental causes which can be avoided.

@PatrickDFarley @sentientist But no I wouldn't want them to be diagnosed... Psychiatric diagnoses are still kinda BS because we don't understand the brain well enough yet.

@PatrickDFarley @sentientist Going back to the original topic of neurodiversity, I just think it would be unfortunate if we eliminate genetic diversity rather than install color-tune dimmable lights to reinforce a normal circadian rhythm.

@PatrickDFarley @sentientist To be clear I'm not an activist trying to ban research or individual decisions, but I think there's a valid but ignored POV that not every divergence from the norm is a "disease" to be eradicated from the gene pool.
