Neurodivergent is the new black. Identity neurology is en vogue. What does it mean? Is is an excuse for failures? Shortcomings? A way to shirk the responsibilities of school, social interactions, employment, relationships? Even if all that is true, the insult is that it waters down and removes the urgency for those who have true problems. Yes, I said problems.

Majority of British consider themselves "neurodivergent"

'That is going to change society, but not in a bad way'

Good news for Britain: A majority of the British people now describe themselves as “neurodivergent”!

Just when it seemed that the unrelenting increases in students with autism and ADHD threatening to bankrupt local city and county councils meant something was seriously wrong with young people, we now know it’s all fine. It’s all just part of being neurodivergent.

[a billion press quotes]

These stories are just from the past several weeks, and things are only going to get worse for Britain.

The most chilling terms in so many of these reports are these two: more complex needs, and increasing demand. These are never addressed by anyone in charge. There must be a reason these DISABILITES ARE MORE SEVERE and increasing demand is a nice way of saying, MORE STUDENTS WHO CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT HELP.

Pretending that everything is fine because we now know most people are a little neurodiverse is just the latest attempt to cover up the damage done to now multiple generations of children.

Meanwhile the debts are mounting, and soon local governments will cease to function because of the cost of educating all these children. And if the government can’t provide proper schooling, how will they manage to support and care for the massive numbers of disabled young adults leaving school?

One father of two children with autism in the US said this about all those celebrating neurodiversity: “Then don’t complain when the bill comes due.”
