I don’t really think of myself as being a different category from anyone else in the world. However, the label of “neurodivergent,” along with my specific diagnoses, help me to connect with resources and with people who often have an understanding of some of the challenges I face.
I’m an alien since birth. Getting better at understanding them.
I’m broken. Perhaps without the autism I may have been able to get through my childhood trauma better, perhaps not.
None of the above? I have certain traits that society thinks are weird. That’s about it. I’m neither cursed nor gifted, I just very much don’t fit the definition of “normal”.

A. but not cursed by fate. Cursed by nurture-gone-wrong although grateful that nature has extremely blessed me. But yes suffering and permanently damaged.
