@freemo@qoto.orgSaying you are #neurodivergent / #neurotypical has become the modern day stand in for astrology signs.
Nice to see that a little space has been set aside for our #neurotypical friends #EMFCamp #Inclusion #EMFSigns
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.orgWhat if "#neurotypical" is just a euphemism for "boring?"
I started with Claude switched to Gemini when it coughed up chunks. I use AIs a lot and they all have their issues and biases.

@KydiaMusic@mastodon.socialAnother poll b/c I'm curious.
This is for people who have seen the sci-fi movie, The Fifth Element, starring Gary Oldman, Bruce Willis, and Milla Jovovich.
Apparently, it REALLY divides people, and I was wondering why. This may be one of a couple of polls, depending on how this one shakes out. So tell me whether you loved it or hated AND if you're #NeuroDivergent or #NeuroTypical .
Toot me any thoughts you have about the film, or your experience with it. 
I have this idea in my head of what the #neurotypical experience must be like... and I imagine it is boring as absolute fuck.
If you're an NT reading this... can you describe what thoughts are like for you? Cause I am really curious. Go nuts with the details if you feel like it.

@ceruleanarc@eldritch.cafeMatt Lowry, LPP, of Child & Adolescent Psychological Evaluations, LLC, in St. Matthews, Kentucky, created diagnostic criteria for #neurotypical folks, if neurotypical folks were diagnosed with a #developmental #disorder instead of #neurodivergent folks.
It's pretty genius, and it showcases precisely why pathologizing any #neurotype can do more harm than good by stigmatizing anything that deviates from what most people consider "normal."

#introvert was one of my pre-ASD DX labels. It's still accurate, just, y'know, #incomplete ... the #autism adds nuance. My experience is often more intense than a #neurotypical #introvert
️ @Beclfc@mastodonapp.ukThe human race is naturally apprehensive about others who are different from them.
Let's make a change today and try our best to change those feelings.

As a #NeuroSpicy type I think we should start saying #NeuroBland instead of the hugely value-laden 'normal.'
@btaroli@federate.socialAutistic Parenting While Autistic
@redoak YES! THIS! Sorry about shouting.
How ableist to assume parents are of course #neurotypical and helping their poor #neurodivergent children… 
We’re commonly in the same boat as them and far less likely to have had diagnosis and support from when we were kids.
So sure, load us up with all those helpful suggestions that don’t fit. Haha I agree, it’s madness.
Are there helpful suggestions/guidance for #ActuallyAutistic HOUSEHOLDS?
This episode aired on 2012-02-04 and entitled “Making Angels”.
The autistic Agent Astrid Farnsworth came from the “Amber World” (the parallel world), and the NT Astrid is from the “Prime World” (our world basically).
The character is, I would say “basic” as far as portrayal of an autistic person. Some would say it's a stereotype. But I like her nonetheless because it was not exaggerated, and the focus was not on her autism instead it was about her many skills.
And in this episode, we saw through her that autistic people are humans too. That we have our own struggles, we do cry and feel emotions (contrary to the claims that we lack it), and we just want to live like everyone else.
---
The autistic Astrid was introduced in season 2 (2009–2010). The actress, Jasika Nicole, was praised for her performance of both the neurotypical and the autistic Agent Astrid.
How about you, what do you think of her character? How was the performance (specifically with autistic Astrid)?

@EwanCroft@tech.lgbtEvery #Neurodivergent person whenever we have to interact with #Neurotypical people:
Very worth reading: #Autism research is, to put it diplomatically, mostly crap. #Autistic people are routinely shut out of #research and their own views ignored, while well-meaning but clueless #neurotypical scientists continue to promote the #ableist idea that autism is something that needs to be cured.

Warning: Article contains descriptions of torturous "treatments" that some will find distressing.
There may be no entirely ethical pharmacy chains in the US (as is the case in racketeering generally, legal or not), but with Walgreens policy on mifepristone & pharmacist privilege to refuse filling medications, etc, consider:
1. Reporting pharmacy management to corporate for review
2. Non-chain alternatives
3. CVS as an option.
This goes for #misogyny targets like mifepristone and methotrexate, as well as #neurotypical bigotry targets like #ADHD medications.
@KydiaMusic@mastodon.social1. Song Intro too long:
I have #ADHD, which honestly I think is an advantage when it comes to writing songs and reviewing them. Even when on my medication, I need a song to hold my interest long enough to get into it, and I think that's true for #NeuroTypical people as well--especially in this age where EVERYONE'S attention spans have been shortened due to the hyper speed of content assaulting us at every turn and vying for our attention.
It's probably convenient (opportunistic?) to describe this in terms of training for logic, which we could loosely define as 'consistent understanding' (people agreeing on #meaning).
Sometimes the new #chatbots say things that we see as logical (therefore intelligent), other times they are 180 deg wrong. Why?
#BodyLanguage is a bit more murky than words, but they still share most of the same problems of #communication. Polysemic meanings (homonyms) have both local & regional sources (limiting this to 1 language) of definitions, and this is compounded as we go from general to specific.
For example, the word dog is likely to be the same in any region of the same language, and communicating this basic idea should be fairly straightforward. However, if we wish to include many details about the dog, including behavior or personality, the number of words required to communicate this accurately rises exponentially.
The way we manage such large chunks of #information is through relying on experiencing consistency between intended and perceived meanings. This is how we learn; this is how all things "learn". It requires iteration, flexibility, patience, and #ErrorCorrecting feedback loops.
This is where we see critical differences regarding body language. There is no dictionary of body language meanings, and we rarely have opportunity for broad-based input on the iteration side, nor on the error correcting side. (Yes, I know that there are academic studies of body language "definitions" used by several professions, but these are mainly for controlled environments, well beyond formative years.)
All this boils down to all of us having different #InitialConditions from which we base our instinctive understanding of meaning. Over time, a mistaken word definition would be uncovered with use, as there are many opportunities to be corrected. Body language not only does not have a dictionary, it does not have grammar rules or other mechanisms for consensus to be reached. Body language is not all subconscious either, much of it is learned and intentionally enacted in order to communicate better.
There's also the key difference that when we write or speak, we do so with singular focus (end result, not creation). If we get distracted mid-sentence, most people lose their place in their train of thought.
With body language the 'extra content' can be totally unrelated to what the person is saying-- again, sometimes intentional, other times subconscious. When this kind of disconnect is going on, we have to resort to trying to pull information from other places, and that is not always available.
So IMO, saying you're not good at body language is like saying you're not good at flipping coins because it took many flips before you arrived at 50%, and the person next to you did it in 2 flips. Our experience of #statistical variation is beyond our control.
The world is full of #FalsePositives, where people are walking around viewing the world in binary terms because life flipped 1 head and then 1 tail for them, and they think that's the only way to get to 50% (that's a good alternative description of #neurotypical!).
TL/DR: If you think you're not good at interpreting BL, it's probably because you were dealt a lot of #variation early on. If you put in some time to observe & reflect on it, you will end up with a higher than average ability after just a few corrections!

@almalexia
Should do. It just did for me. Also try #autism. #neurotypical and adding @actuallyautistic
to your posts, they boost for reach.
moonmouse (they/them) @wickedmoonmouse@disabled.socialAnd now this?! Now we can’t feed our children baby food without being scared it will make them autistic?! This is trash and fear mongering bullish!t. Stop scaring people, autistic people will always exist and autism is not a disease. Yall can die mad about it.
