THIS PART IS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH NEURODIVERGENT DISABILITIES FOR CONTEXT OF HOW I THINK AND WHY I THINK ABOUT THE INFORMATION IN THE REST OF THE POST
To start, I have a horrible case of diagnosed ADHD, legit the worst you can get it. I just did some research and I think I may have AuDHD (Austim Spectrum Attention Deficit Disorder) and I feel like I don't deflect women because of it. Imo, I think being neurodivergent is kinda cool, it makes someone unique. I know lots of people with neurodivergent disabilities and I often see nd personas attract more women than someone with an nt persona. I often don't socialize in public and find myself to be a very anxious person. I used to be more outgoing but idk. Specifically towards women, I try to not talk to them very much because I get nervous for some reason. Lots of girls come up to me on their own and notice me, often trying to create small talk and eventually ask for my snap or number, and sometimes just ask for my number. I usually reject, because I recently got out of a relationship, and when I was in the relationship and it started happening A LOT more, I rejected them because I was in a rls but besides the point.
I was just using that as an example of neurodivergence. I don't like or want the attention because I get very anxious around people, most girls but also people I just don't know i'm super awkward with. But even when I am awkward, I feel like the person I speak too tries to carry the conversation, when I respond with an awkward one words response or something simple to get them to leave. It's very annoying. The reason I bring this up is because I feel like as an obvious nd who doesn't try to hide it, it doesn't dissociate me with people, and I'm treated perfectly normal by women. I don't attempt to look or act like an nt either.
With my ex girlfriend, when I would not talk or act neurotypical because of my Vyvanse meds, she would tell me that she prefer me to be chalant, and talk more, make more jokes, be myself. When I take my meds I just become an nt for like 2 hours before the extreme wears off and I'm slightly nd seeming.
I feel like being neurodivergent is weird, because as someone with these disabilities and a particularly high iq, I lack empathy for people that I find to be stupid or not intelligent, having done something that was obviously stupid and gotten the consequences that they deserved. On the other hand, I do have empathy for certain people and/or people I do not resent. I feel like that is the case with many if I'm not mistaken but I feel like it is emphasized for me a lot. I find it very easy to contain my emotions in many situations. I let them out when I'm alone obviously, but when someone makes me angry, sad or just annoys me, I can completely shut off that part of my brain and treat them normally, even if I resent them. I see the lack of this control in lots of people, being unable to regulate themselves.
I just want insight on any of your personal experiences and what you have seen in public or in private and what you have noticed about how neurotypical persona(s) are treated in retrospect to how neurodivergent persona(s) are treated.

changed to discussion bc it went from statement -> questions so
DNR; I have ND disabilities and am not treated differently in public by women apposed to someone with an NT persona. Questions to why this is, and whether or not women really care about the difference.
