But expecting neurodiverse people to thrive in an environment designed for neurotypical people is destined to fail, she thinks. “It’s like handing someone the wrong game controller and then judging them for not being able to play the game.”
I’m not sure that this is a good attitude to have. Therapy and individual treatment can help those who are neurodivergent to become adjusted and successful members of society. And learning can actually be good for you and expose you to stuff that might help in situations down the line in future.
I’m not against the idea of tools to assist those who are neurodivergent, but there’s something to be said for overcoming diversity through work and practice and learning new skills.
i don’t think its fair to expect failure because someone isn’t “thriving” in an environment they’re currently in.
