I remember taking a short test that the psychiatrist who diagnosed me used as a small part of her assessment. She kept asking every minute or two if I was done, which I would later come to realize was just part of the test. Probably fifteen minutes later, once I was done writing half a page of answers in the unusually tiny spaces between lines, I handed it back to her. She took one look at it, gave it back to me, and pointed at the instructions at the top of the page which basically said to just circle the right answer, something that wasn’t at all clear from context alone unless you actually read the instructions first. It wasn’t multiple choice but all I had to do was circle a word in each sentence which wouldn’t have taken me much more than about thirty seconds. That was apparently the real test, not the actual questions, and so I failed (or passed?) miserably.

Policies made by people thinking neurodivergent just need the right incentive to be “normal”.
“Have you tried hard enough to be normal?” – The people who set up that system probably.
