I don't understand why op thinks they are special for going through this workflow. Women are way less likely than men to ignore job requirements when applying for jobs and many many people have to be reminded that job requirements are fluffy. Are all these people "neurodivergent"? We seem to want to apply this term everywhere for some reason.
- I think most people are like this but neurodivergent people have trouble coming to terms with breaking the rules. As in they see an incongruity between the stated rule and the way everyone behaves. What OP is talking about is textbook neurodivergence behavior though I’m sure other people experience this to some degree.
  
  As a neurodivergent, this. Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself. I literally cannot because I'd quickly ramble on and talk about seemingly unimportant things for like, three sentences, but only use commas, so that it looks/reads as a single sentence, then ultimately say what you said, but I would say it worse somehow.
  I'm ADHD. AMA?
  
  I used to do that with elipses until I was scathingly mocked on a BBS when I was a teenager. It takes me longer but it did make me better at writing for others to read on the internet.
- I don't think that op thinks they're special by going through the workflow. I think op thinks that the workflow lands differently on them because of their condition. I think op thinks that it's related to their condition because no one else seems to be complaining about this and so maybe neurotypicals aren't as bothered by this.
- Yeah, this is an oddly common sentiment amongst those that make neurodivergence their personality; which is funny because it’s more common to be neurodivergent than neurotypical. While it’s usually said that 20% of people are neurodivergent, it’s actually more than 50% when you include everything that constitutes neurodivergence and even account for significant overlap.
- I think “neurotypical” by now means “I wanna say ‘normie I look down upon’, but I don't want to sound like an incel”
  
  Nope. I'm neurodivergent, I know a lot of neurodivergent people. We all kind of gravitated to eachother over time. Some are ADHD, like me, some are on the spectrum for autism, and there's a bunch more that I simply cannot list because the list is pretty long.
  I can tell you that zero of the neurodivergent people I know use the term "neurotypical" to mean anything like what you suggest. In every context it's meant to exemplify the lack of mental struggle that some people have in their daily life in contrast to what most neurodivergent people experience.
  Eg, anxiety and paralysis when contemplating or engaging in anything remotely social. For some neurodivergents, such activity evokes a very strong reaction. Some neurotypicals also experience something similar, usually less severe at least; but the experience is not unique to us.
  The most common derogatory use of "neurotypical" that I've seen is regarding empathy, or the lack thereof, from people who have not experienced a major mental health event, and are so neurotypical that they cannot even fathom the struggles of people who are neurodivergent.
  You all don't understand, then victim blame us and call us lazy, when our brain chemistry literally prevents us from making any useful progress on stuff. Then there's a whole swath of you that shames us for using meds to help correct the discomfort of being wired differently in a world that isn't designed to accommodate, or even sympathise with us.
  Now we're being, more or less, accused of using "neurotypical" as a slur to hide that we're incels?
  Seriously?
  
  What if they meant it from the perspective of a neurotypical?
  
  If they want to take offense at what is essentially a synonym for "normal, societally accepted brain function" the sure lol
