| I replied by saying neurodivergence refers to a brain difference with which people are born. It can't be changed with medication or therapy. Neurodiversity (as a movement) is about celebrating neuro-difference. To the best of my understanding, If you're autistic then yes you are neurodivergent. If ... |

| Now Im confused, I never mentioned autism?! I asked if psychosis is part of being neurodivergent, which isnt always about autism. ADHD, OCD, Tourette Syndrom, Depression etc are also neurodivergent. It used to be all about autism but it isnt anymore ( https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-neurodiverg... |

| Hey ho! I have a problem: I want a diagnosis, I've doing some research, tests, self-reflection etc, I feel like I am autistic and I am now learning to unmask myself. BUT! I'm also trans. And here in Germany, if you're trans and autistic, you have extra struggles to transition, if it's even possible ... |

| Yes. Many of us, if not most of us, have been masking since we were tiny kids. I even have an Autistic cousin whose parents are also Autistic. Because the parents are also Autistic, they raise her fully allowing her and encouraging her to be her Autistic natural self. Yet she is five years old and ... |
