The box of constraints that WEIRD monocultures impose on #neurodivergent people is reflected in the rates of #depression, #PTSD, and #suicides.

Certain skills and certain tasks clash with the unique cognitive lens and sensory profile of a #neurodivergent person. Non-typical learning profiles are disabling within
WEIRD monocultures.

Disabled #neurodivergent people that refuse to permanently confine themselves to the box of WEIRD constraints tend to be pushed into completely meaningless work that harms them and others.

#Neurodivergent people have to spend enormous time doing what they are good at rather than what they love, to get to the point where they can be paid for some things.
Neuronormative people don’t see and far less understand why this work is necessary.

Creating companies around the talents and interests of people and around trusted relationships makes a huge difference, especially for #neurodivergent people.

Often #neurodivergent people get penalised for attempting to do any of the cool things that they love and would like to learn more about. WEIRD cultures kill curiosity & intrinsic motivation, and they do so systematically, resulting in a dangerous collective learning disability.

Doing what they love, without any constraints, is the forbidden zone for #neurodivergent people, even if these often solitary activities don’t harm anyone else.
