Neuro-Diverse People tend NOT to be great WORKER BEES --- They tend to be better INNOVATORS*

*Also Entrepreneurs, Artists, and Mono-Taskers in which the task is sufficiently complex

Conjecture

• A big part of this is that the Society just isn't set up for people with significantly different SENSORY PROCESSING ISSUES and the RAMIFICATIONS.

• The more that changes, the more AWARENESS on the part of everyone --- the more opportunities that opens up
  

 

• If you are processing significantly MORE INFORMATION and / or you have differences or deficits such as in DSYLEXIA ----- that's A TIME COST.

 

• If that TIME COST is not factored in to one's work life, family life, personal life --- it is becoming more and more FORESEEABLE that:
  • the person could be headed for a BURNOUT, and
  • in extreme cases, BREAKDOWN.

Oct 11, 2021 — Students with ADHD may be very bright, but slow processing speed can get in the way of schoolwork.


Dyslexia often causes a delay in the brain's processing speed. Those tests which reward speed, will always discriminate against children with this difficulty, consigning them to the bottom. One of the most widely used tests used to identify dyslexia is Rapid Automatic Naming known as RAN.

SENSORY OVERLOAD and SLOW PROCESSING on the surface are such BORING ISSUES.

BUT I think they are keys to understanding why Neuro-Diverse people are struggling SO MUCH in our HYPER-EFFICIENT SOCIETY and why:

• Their Developmental Differences are often progressing to ----
• PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS.
