Neurodivergents tend to accrue pariah status in basically any space. 'Disorders' of the modern world beget ostracization, cruelty and isolation. It is widely believed that such divergence is negative, but a shift in perspective grants another purview.
The relation between humans and chimpanzees bring forth some dramatic irony in the sense that a human could walk into a chimpanzee enclosure, hideously misread ape hierarchy cues and then get viciously mauled to death without even understanding why. We would not then say that the human is less intelligent, less capable and less socially developed than a chimpanzee, but when neurodivergents are introduced into the wider ape enclosure of society they are hilariously conferred the status of 'bumbling retard'. One could assume that neurodivergents are hilariously socially incompetent and that they look funny in the same way that a homo sapien would be viewed as a disabled and funny-looking outcast in a coalition of monkeys.
The massive explosion of information in the last few decades has to have done something. Those with more adept information-parsing brains would decipher archaic social laws and discard them as abstruse, trivial and inefficient. This is much the same way as a human would deem ape social laws to be archaic, egoic and tribalistic; they would not be able to intuitively 'grasp' ape socialization (neurotypicals would have to study ape behaviour as a science, like how neurodivergents scrutinize neurotypical socialization). Autistics are predisposed toward functional efficiency; peace, quiet - they champion abilities of hyperfocus and prefer artistic abstraction to material observation. Schizo disorders are characterized by an immense spike in visuo-spatial comprehension, as if they are voyaging into a vast liminal space of abstracted concepts neurotypicals are unable to fathom, like how a chimpanzee could not fathom Kant. They would represent a further shift in the paradigm, a human adapted to abundance of information and resources.
This is not to say that the 'normies' are lesser in the same sense that other animals are not 'less conscious' than humans. Any animal would have a 'mode' of consciousness adapted to its evolutionary habitat, and it would exhibit an evolutionary strategy forged by genetic memory and environmental pressures. The concourse of cubicle efficiency arrays in the 80s attenuated the population toward pure efficiency. We have since regressed back into a 'holistic' view founded on virtue signalling and fake sympathy, equally as disorienting to an autistic as an ape that offers a fresh banana in the presence of other apes only to snatch the banana away when not in the presence of others.
What could one do in an enclosure of apes liable to rip your face off if you look at them funny? Would you look them in the eye? Many 'neurodivergents' recede and say that socialization is not worth the effort. It's a charade. Would you willingly walk into an ape enclosure with nebulous social hierarchies? Would you just not interact with the apes at all?
This is not to say that anyone is worth less than any other. It's an amusing parallel I've been thinking about, is all.
