I don't know enough about the science of what you reply to, but neurodivergence is not a mental illness, so not sure what you're implying here. I'd also wager people leave rooms by the door because it is easier, so I don't think that requires a habit or conditioning.

Neurodivergence is an internet-nurtured buzzword so it doesn't have a very definite form in the first place. In general it refers to conditions like autism, ADHD, and Tourette's, all of which are found in the DSM, a compendium of mental disorders.

> Neurodivergence is an internet-nurtured buzzword

No, it's a well-defined term from an expert in the space and a member of the community [1], coined to describe an underserved group of people who didn't have existing terminology to describe themselves [2]. Reducing it to a "buzzword" to describe people who have "mental disorders" or "conditions" is a gross misunderstanding of both the term, the people it describes, and the space.
