Anyways, Downton Abbey. My mom watches it all the time on Hulu and I haven't seen squat since the first season and it's all strange. With my mom and her friends, Downton Abbey is like what Steven Universe is to you guys.
Nobody talks about the best part of the show, which is Pharoah and Isis the dogs.
Sadly, they wrote out Isis because of the terrorist group of the same name, because terrorists truly and deeply hate all that is good.

Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Speaking of 100% scum I saw something really bad today and I want to show other people but I'm genuinely afraid that they'll hate me for it, for ruining their day.
I never got into the "teenagers pretending to have severe psychological problems" craze back in the early 2010s. Then I turned out to be an ACTUAL teenager with severe psychological problems! :D

I kinda wish I had access to a Windows 7 computer at home.
Well, numerically, the vast majority of people, to an extremely high degree, are, in fact, neurotypical, and neurodivergence has only been medically recognized for, well, only since the 1940s. I think that ignorance, rather than ideology or any attempt at being judgmental, would explain why, to such a large degree, that a lot of people assume neurotypical as default. People need to be taught, and they need to understand neurodivergence, what it is, but I am quite skeptical as to the effectiveness of a teaching method involving telling-people-what-they-really-mean-when-they-say-things, as in my experience, it tends to make people uncomfortable and defensive.
No, not everyone should be assumed neurotypical, but I do not think that the vast majority of people are intolerant or trying to force neurotypical-ness so much as they don't know anything other than neurotypical-ness.
As for two, I agree that those who are unable to be diagnosed should not "suffer in silence", however, given that aspergers, autism, NLD, and other aspects of neurodivergence are medical terms, that precision as to meaning is desirable (this is why I detest the way that 4chan uses, "autistic" as a term for "stubborn"). Thus, self-diagnosis is useful as a first diagnosis, and as a way to understand what is happening in your brain, but medical analysis, being uniquely suited for this exact thing, is to be sought. The problem is that the current system of medicine and diagnosis and everything is in need of nearly complete overhaul and reform, and that the needs of many people are not met by the current health care system.
As for everyday interaction with people, it is not unreasonable to accept somebody's self-diagnosis. However, with regards to accommodation on tests, other necessary services regulated by law, it is not unreasonable for an institution to expect a medical diagnosis, unfair though it is.
I do not know how to respond to three, as I really do not know very much about the way that neurodivergence is percived in society at large. The narrative sarcastically presented here of people on the autistic spectrum as "crazy" is troubling, and I hope in the future people be better informed and not have such false ideas
As for four, it is perfectly possible to realize that you are neurotypical or neurodivergent. It is also possible to be mistaken as to your own neurotypical-ness or neurodivergence. But, as I noted above, in certain situations, such as those involving legal accommodations, it is not unreasonable for a medical diagnosis to be preferred to a self-diagnosis.
Regardless, all people are to be treated with respect

Holy shit where is this coming from
How is this still happening

And who can really blame them? I certainly wouldn't be willing to gamble with a hundred million dollars.

Serious response: I think you will, in time. That's one upside to forgetting, is the ability to forget terrible things.
it would be extremely painful
