Lost in Translation – The Social Language Theory of Neurodivergence
“Reality simply consists of different points of view.” -Margaret Atwood. We the neurodivergent are genetically different. We experience the world through a hypersensitive nervous system which informs every aspect of our thinking, our behavior, and our social values. The dominant social group labels our way of being in the world as disordered because they don’t understand us. Even though they don’t understand, the dominant culture controls the narrative about our differences.
