[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9286261, member: 6779310"] Considering "Neurodivergent" covers the Autism spectrum (Asperger's Syndrome to Low Functioning Autism), ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Scotopic Sensitivity, and at least half a dozen other neuroperceptive disorders... It's also been adopted by a number of sufferers of Bipolar and certain other mood disorders, as well, but I don't know how widespread that use is. Further, it's often used as a more politically correct substitution for "learning disabled," "Special Needs," "differentially abled," or "Special Education student." In my current groups (total 10 players plus myself, plus 2 more occasional drop ins), EVERY member has a diagnosis compatible with the term "Neurodivergent"... Myself included. (ADHD, Dyslexia, Bipolar, provisional diagnosis of HFA.) The least diagnosed individual has ADHD and dysgraphia. The most diagnosed? ADHD, dyslexia, HFA, gender dysphoria, bipolar. And that isn't counting that 6 of the 13 of us have migraine issues - which are presumptively a brain disorder. We've openly discussed our neurodivergences in both groups. Both my kids have ADHD and Bipolar. I'd be surprised if more than half are not in some way "neurodivergent"... but actual autism spectrum? well, since my kids aren't counted in that bakers dozen, 4 of us are on the Autism spectrum. One's suspected to be but not diagnosed. Both my kids are on the spectrum, have bipolar as well, and migraines. I'd not be surprised if 1 in five were on the autism spectrum, but "neurodivergent" isn't a synonym for On the Spectrum. [/QUOTE]
