There are a lot of people out there, so many things can be true at once.
I think it’s inevitable that some people use labels as excuses just because awareness of those conditions is so much higher. I also think it’s inevitable that there are a lot of people who struggled all their life with things that are difficult to diagnose or weren’t on the minds of parents and teachers 30 years ago.
And there’s probably no way to ever say definitively, with evidence, either way on this – but it would blow my fucking mind to find out that Lemmy didn’t have a neurospicy percentage of participants significantly higher than the general population.
And even if that were known to be untrue, I think Lemmy also attracts people who are more aware, open, and accepting of that stuff in themselves and others.
