Do you ever get the feeling that no one is normal anymore? It seems like everyone you meet these days describes himself as neurodiverse or neurodivergent. It’s hard to believe that terms which didn’t even exist before 1999 could now apply to so many people. Today, it seems that anyone who is slightly different than average is described as neurodivergent. The confusing aspect of this topic is that it is based on a deviance from some standard of normalcy, which is defined as neurotypical. To classify any person as the standard of mental normalcy is a difficult feat.
