So what you are saying is that they operate in logic and reason and that they have a healthily critical relationship with authority?
I’m sorry? Which people are they trying to convince us are the broken ones, again?
The real neurodivergence is the charisma chuds; American was built for them. Dumb con men who’s narcissistic tendencies allow them to sell us all on how they’re actually the best ones and we are the weird ones.
I know it’s just reductive fan fiction but I like to imagine all the emotional disregulation baggage is just the realization of living in a world run by selfish children who would kill just to be popular and be waited on
