Right, that might be the case for me (though I'm not sure how I'm supposed to significantly improve my memory, everyone's gets worse with age, kinda a fact of life)

But for the percentage of people with neuro-divergencies where this could help, surely this would be them working against their faults? Using appropriate tools to make their lives easier is a much more viable solution than telling someone to change something about themselves that they ultimately might not be able to.

You wouldn't tell a leg amputee to figure out how to hop around, you'd tell them to get crutches or a prosthetic.

Thank you.

I'm pretty active in ADHD spaces and seeing "then try to improve" set my teeth on edge.

I grew up with assholes trying to tell me to just "work on it." Makes me crazy we live in the future and there are still people so entitled that they'll tell disabled people "tough cookie."
