For any neurodivergent condition, the goal cannot be cure, escape, or preventing it impacting our lives.
The goal must be to accept it as a part of us, and to take it into account when we're setting our goals, working towards them, or celebrating our progress and success along the way

@structuredsucc Always the implication with the term neurodivergent is a negative difference. Often, neurotypicals are shallow thinkers and likewise relatively weak at focussing deep. They will see the scattered hypo-focus mode of ADHD for example, and miss the super effective hyper-focus.
