Why Neurodivergent People Have Higher Personal Perspectives Rates

  • Navigating a world designed for neurotypical people creates chronic stress
  • Masking neurological differences is psychologically costly and drives personal perspectives
  • Sensory processing differences can make personal perspectives triggers more intense
  • Social difficulties associated with neurodivergence can increase isolation and personal perspectives
