Neurodivergency, multicultural families, displacement - is there a connection? (slrpnk.net)

I'd be interested if other ND folk have also observed what looks like a higher than usual percentage of displaced people or people moving abroad or living in a multicultural background in their families?

It might have nothing to do with it, but I sometimes suspect that I chose to live abroad because other people's expectations in social situations are more lenient, or because all culture is alien to me anyways? I also, just like my grandmother before me, proceeded to raise a child that isn't really fully part of either culture of his parents - another overly self-aware alien.

But then it's also such a common thing in so many people's lives that I might be looking for connections where there are none.

I think that’s probably more of a correlation than causation situation. Many people are displaced and many people also have adhd. Perhaps there is a percentage that chooses displacement because of the challenge / relaxation of expectations. I am from a multicultural background. I don’t think that has any affect on my neurological state. My nerves and my feelings? Sure.

... but differently.

A place for sharing creativity which has that special other dimension to it.

Divergent folk, awakened ones, angels, prophets, inventors, and ... neurotypicals. Forget about your autism! We appreciate your awkwardness.

What is this going to be? Well, I'm currently doing some inspiration collecting ... still 😄, here in the pinned post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/112817

What this place is not supposed to be:

A place for talking about autism/neurodiversity as seen in the common pathologising clinical way, or memes about all the former. We do not want to talk about what doesn't work. ;-)

This place however, shall be there for sharing what we (and others) can do with that neurodivergence thing. How we are set-up, what we receive, and how we create when we are in the flow. This shall be uplifting and mutually enabling. Here we shall celebrate cheerfully our uniqueness.

We are the bunch who perhaps really know how things could work better.

For those other things, you may want to look into one of these places:

You see, there is plenty of room for those problems and disabilities. :-)
