    That’s a pretty offensive thing to say honestly.

    I mean with this, that the brain has a priority in keeping consciousness up and is really good at that. Autism/Aspergers/ADHD are all cases with some issues in our neuro-chemical household but we still somehow work. Heck, there are even cases of people with a waterhead, the brain only being a few mm thick layer along the skull but they still lived a normal life.

      Oh, got it. You’ve got issues with the implication of being “defective”? We call ourselves neurodivergent, not defective, no?
