On being a neurodivergent woman

[Supercuriousforever]

Do you think being a woman made neurodivergence harder for you? Like do you think life would have been easier if you were male? Did you face some extra challenges along the way?

I'm epileptic. In the grand scheme of things epilepsy has only really made my life more expensive and excluded me from several job opportunities.

The biggest disability without a doubt is the fact I lack a Y chromosome. The glass ceiling is real, the gender pain gap is alive and well, and don't even think about getting a fair treatment in the workplace but yay! I get to spend 40 hours a week working to pay for someone else to raise my child for me. How empowering.
