What makes you neurotypical? Or neurodivergent ? I'm curious how you can tell ?

That's the chat really? I can see how some are on the spectrum but not others? Same with ADHD

It’s a group of disabilities so you could “tell” a person was neurodiverse if they had a diagnosis of any of the qualifying disabilities

I agree with this. It's a group of disabilities. That's why you can't tell by looking. But the term neurodiversity in my opinion tends to make some people think it's just some quirkiness that now has a fancy label. I think It whitewashes over the very significant disabilities and life challenges that many that have these disabilities face and who are often challenged by professionals or anyone in their lives to 'prove' or demonstrate that they or their disabled child actually struggles rather than just have some quirky needs.
