Neurodivergent children are 2–3 times more likely to be bullied, victimized, and maltreated, than neurotypical children.

@KatyElphinstone only 2-3 times more??
Yeah, I know. That's what the research says. I think in reality it would probably be a lot more.
@KatyElphinstone @miaoue Until we stop having a society which promotes, even mandates conformity, this will sadly, never change.
@db0 @KatyElphinstone @miaoue I have a growing sense that so many values, customs, habits, and rules are determined by the core NT for "reasons". But those reasons are subject to fashion and power dynamics, rather than intrinsic value, function or social contract. So we get marginalised and bullied because we recognise the rules are actually BS and don't blindly follow them.
Of course. Truth comes from the heart, not the mind. Anyone who thinks otherwise will be silenced until they can kill us off.
Can you imagine if /everybody/ did their own thinking? Instead of just thinking whatever the screen tells them is what other people like themselves think? Jesus! The whole pyramid would collapse!
@davoloid
I agree!
