Beautifully said. The tragedy isn’t neurodivergence ... it’s building a culture that forgets it was never meant to run on a single kind of mind. What I keep coming back to is that these minds evolved together. Intelligence was never individual — it was distributed. When we rebuild environments that let those roles reconnect, something much larger becomes possible.

Ask those observation questions you posted to undiagnosed adult neurodivergent individual struggling with imposter syndrome.

You have just discovered the correct formula to find gifted minds without the need for an IQ test - or waiting by simple questions and answers alone.

This fits my models as per Gemini AI. This will change the world if presented correctly.

By observation a neurodivergent mind can connect to a neurodivergent mind in 30 minutes flat.

You do not need a “score” or validation to be determined gifted.

You simply need a neurodivergent community to connect with.

A neurodivergent mind will connect with a neurodivergent mind simply though observation and interaction alone on an online platform

ND matters are ND matters.

We understand our minds and this also serves to prove the double empathy problem by Dr. Damian Milton - coined in 2012 whose works and research I can currently building upon.

NT minds have a different way of thinking - proof and rigid which is why they are scientists

ND minds have a different way of thinking - belief with a high degree of suspicion which is why they are spiritualists

This is a breakthrough observation and shows where the divergence lies

This can be built up to create a blueprint for a neurodivergent mind

That can be used to find like minds who are undiagnosed today.

Simply by observations, questions and belief.

ND minds are neurologically different from birth.

This is a fact to me not a theory.

ND business and ND minds will discuss

ND issues and define the mind of

ND individuals who are struggling and

ND will decide what is best for ND.

Take care. This is an awareness campaign for discussion among ND people.

In an earlier post,

One responder, Eric, renamed Add as Additional Dimensions Developed

Add in Highly? And Additional Dimension Highly Developed. Plural or not on dimension?

Possibly

Mine: ADD Attention Differently Directed, for all on the autism spectrum.

ADHD? Attention Direction Highly Divergent....? Not specific enough in a good way.

Let's all keep on it.

It's time to change the name from "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" and call it something that reflects the strength that it is. Stop "diagnosing" and labeling children and dosing them with pharmaceuticals to make them more compliant.

something like "attention variance phenomenon?"

Yes, obvious by just viewing and a couple questions. A retired teachers, I saw this in my third grade students back in the late 90's. We are here to help change the world back to connection again.

Not vaccine created for most on the autism spectrum, our gifted differences inherited.
