Certainly, but itās also alright to challenge views based on anecdote that only serve to perpetuate stereotypes. š

Im not stereotyping anyone
Interesting someone said we used to live different in the past. My family is all like this and even though maybe some were bad at school and others not those family members bad at school were good butchers or blacksmiths or farmers. But not stupid at all. The opposite if anything. They were really good at these things.
I think there is some things like slightly bad nutrition holding people like this back. I think neurodivergent people are slightly less healthy on average. But if you fix that? Not much can stop you I think. I also think that sometimes someone that would just be a bit eccentric can be disabled by bad health. Or neurodivergent people are more sensitive to bad health. People that aren't like this seem to eat whatever and do whatever and get away with it...

At least we can discuss sensitive topics whilst remaining civil to each other with our differing views, which is more than can be said for most of the internet š

One thing comes to mind is that someone on another thread said we consider the wrong people disabled in our society. Some of the worst politicians and so on will never get help, or even think there is anything wrong with them... Yet they do more harm. But instead we focus on neurodiversity which really is just a difference? With a tendency for these people to be genuinely good people. I mean its not even a problem really anyways? I think if people didn't treat neurodiverse people so badly not many would have problems focusing or have all these health problems.. Among other things
I feel like the tide is changing in our society in terms of who will be in power... Could be false but I don't think so

Yes, I am sure a certain American politician whose name rhymes with dump considers himself to be sane.

Makes you wonder what will happen with the assassination attempts... Year isn't over yet..
You hear a lot of talk about the mental health benefits of gardening, yet itās seen as something that benefits everyone, neurodivergent or not (that is assuming you actually enjoy it). Mental health is a work in progress, in the same way that an active lifestyle supports your physical health.
The kind of auarium-keeping we appreciate on this forum is undeservedly niche, at least in the UK. Where would you come into contact with āgoodā planted aquariums if you donāt already know about the hobby? Itās arguably more accessible than gardening, financially. Yes itās nerdy, but so is GQT. Itās a bit of a reclusive hobby for sure but I donāt think this is by choice, probably exacerbated by things moving online and away from physical clubs etc

But is it much to do with nerdiness... People with ADHD are usually athletic
