Agreed. There is some link between higher intelligence and neurodivergence but that’s more the territory of neurodevelopmental ASD, dyspraxia and certain forms of heightened sensory processing (like misophonia, if it counts). Not dyslexia. Asperger’s, yes. Dyslexia, no. It’s not a neurodivergence that potentially heightens intelligence inherently.
