Lol are those people in the room with us right now?
They assessed as not qualifying for a diagnosis for the specific disorders they are being tested for. That is a far, far cry from being "diagnosed as neurotypical".
If you don't have the disorders that would classify you as neurodivergent, then by default you're neurotypical.
Neurotypical is the default state, and you're tested to see if you diverge from the default state. If you don't have that divergence then you're neurotypical.
But we're pointlessly arguing semantics.
Do you ever get diagnosed for not having something? No.
So I guess there is no lack of disease. Everyone is sick.
This is what your argument is saying. And it's asinine.
Do you go around to people who aren't coughing and label them "sickless"?
No; and that's the point. You don't disgnose a lack of illness. Which is why nobody would be diagnosed as neurotypical. 🤦♂️
Which is why if we started making memes attributing behaviors to people who are just... Not sick... It would be really weird and innacurate.
Or like, what about people who are sick and are just having a good day? Or people who are sick but their meds are working so they don't look like it from the outside? Maybe they are sick, but they just have a runny nose and not the cough you're expecting?
The meme could have very easily been captioned "someone telling me about mindsets and positive thinking" and it would be perfectly fine. But, for no reason other than to sew hostility and division, OP added a bunch of irrelevant identity politics into the mix.
You missed the point of the meme entirely, apparently.
This is basically someone who isn't sick telling a person who is sick that their struggles aren't real. It would not work without the separation.
