ٖFor those of you who need to hear this:
‘Stereotypical’ autism exists.
People who flap their hands exist.
People who can’t make any form of eye contact exist.
People with special interests in trains exist.
People with Savant-like mathematical abilities exist.
People who can’t mask exist.
Sure, it doesn’t represent the entire spectrum, but neither does YOUR experience. An autistic experience is an autistic experience is. An. Autistic. Experience.
I so desperately need neurodivergence content/media/representation that isn't just autism and ADHD
My brain is neurodivergent but in a gifted (and anxiety) way not an autistic or ADHD way and I need representation so bad ;-; but then I feel bad about wanting representation because giftedness isn't seen as neurodivergent a lot because there's no representation for it!!! AGHHHH
I promise you this brain in my head is not neurotypical but I feel like an asshole for saying I'm neurodivergent because the term 'gifted' makes it sound like I'm faking or like I think I'm better than everyone else :(
All you other gifted people who feel like you're too weird for NTs and too normal for NDs, you are all valid and I love you <3

I'm so torn about the gifted label.
On the one hand, I think the name "gifted" in itself is too hierarchical both for my liking and for the phenomenon it describes to be taken as anything more than "people trying to be special". Like, with a name like "gifted", yeah, I see where people draw that conclusion.
On the other hand, the phenomenon the term describes is very much real. It's part of mine and many other peoples' lived experiences - a heightened inquisitiveness and awareness of/preference for complexity. Gifted/multi-exceptional spaces are some of the only in which I feel like my true experiences and needs are reflected and affirmed. If it's all just "privileged nonsense" (which it isn't - many people who have these traits are often underprivileged in many ways and will have a very different, usually negative experience with these traits as opposed to people who have the same traits but are better-off, better-liked, and tick fewer minority boxes), then all my feelings and needs and those of thousands of other people are, what, nothing? That is an incredibly ignorant stance, and if you hold it, I hope my words can make you reconsider.
I don't know what to do, who to listen to - I don't like being told "just listen to ur heart!!!" bc I doubt myself too much for that, it's not a matter of "just" doing anything. I have these experiences, I have these needs, and I'm tired of being given negative value judgments just for acknowledging them! More importantly, I'm tired of feeling like I'm alone in them. I don't want to feel like a "special exception", I want to hear that I'm not crazy, I want to see that the world has room for me in it.
The EU AI Act and the Forgotten Competence of the Future: Why Complex Systems Require Polymathic Thinking
The EU AI Act is often perceived primarily as a regulatory challenge, as another layer of compliance requirements, documentation obligations, and control mechanisms that organisations must integrate into their existing processes. This perspective, however, remains incomplete. The deeper significance of the EU AI Act lies not only in the requirements it imposes on AI systems, but in the structural…
Giftedness is not required with autism or adhd. No one owes you talent or giftedness. Stop acting like it’s a requirement!!
