Was just wondering: who counts as ND?


autistics, ovbiously...


people with ADHD / ADD?

dyslexia? dyspraxia? dyscalcula? etc.

bipolar?

schizophrenia?

anxiety disorders?

HSPs? (Highly Sensitive Persons)



Also, it's funny that you can be both a ND and NT (if your an INTP, INTJ, ENTP or ENTJ)

I'd say whatever goes on the ND list probably should be neurology related, rather than anything related to brain chemistry etc.

I would say most people who do not seem "normal" at first glance are "ND."

And many others who do seem "normal," but who have more subtle neurodiverse traits.

I would say a schizophrenic, for example, especially one who hallucinates should be counted as "ND" because of his/her altered perception of reality.

I would take it on an individual, case-by-case basis.
