I have a question. I don't know much about this subject, so that is why I'm asking. Doesn't this statement imply that the differences between brains from neurotypical and neurodivergent people are overall consistent? As afaik that's not true, because autism is a spectrum, right?
The answer is they are not but it's more about proximity and shared experience. No two neurodivergent people are the same and those with different divergences sometimes horribly clash in terms of communication styles. However two autistic people may have more in common in terms of communication styles and shared experience to communicate far more easily than with a neurotypical person.
Thanks for answering
