Neurotypical Peers are Less Willing to Interact with Those with Autism based on Thin Slice Judgments

[Metaphorical]

3. Neurodivergents are not disordered

If you have ever watched two neurodivergent people talk to one another, most, if not all, of the difficulties in communication that seem to exist when NTs and NDs interact, go away. There is a fairly strong correlation between introversion, ASD, and neurodivergence. Introverts make up about 35% of the population, extroverts make up about 45% of the population, and the rest are in the middle, with both ND and NT traits. This perception that NDs are somehow diseased originated within the neurotypical community, and I suspect goes back millennia.
