If you follow a lot of my posts, even vaguely, you’ll probably be aware that I have a lot of skepticism re. what we consider neurodivergence these days, in terms of there being an innate difference between traits of character/divergent types of personality (like schizoid) and what actually belongs to the framework that’s specifically neurodevelopmental (like ADHD, like Tourette’s, like dyspraxia) and the way it’s over-diagnosed/over-ascribed-to these days (and not just on TikTok, either). But just to use Ali’s words, do you think that she *is* autistic or that she’s just ADD (I’m guessing she’s not got issues with hyperactivity; just the attention-deficit side of AD/H/D, I presume)?
