> arguably schizophrenia should also be considered neurodivergence

Isn't it? My understanding of the word is "anyone who experiences the world differently from the social 'normal'", which would certainly include schizophrenia and other kinds of mental disorders.

I'm with you, I thought neurodivergent included any folks whose brain chemistry was different than the 'regular' baseline. Bipolar, schizophrenic, etc.
In the genderified xitter space "neurodivergence" has been hijacked to mean adhd and autism only.

I cant wait for the TikTokers to find out about Schicofrenia where they can actually think they are god!!
