mental illnesses such as Autism or ADHD

These aren't really illnesses, though. Think of it as of being left- or right-handed - it's your brain functioning in a different way, but not a pathological one.

    Eh, they consider it a-typical, it's basically considered a mental illness. "neurotypical"

    Let me clarify to say, I don't think there's inherently anything actually "wrong" with non-neuotypical folks, I have ADD for sure and I know it's definitely an impediment to myself in various aspects of my life in ways neurotypicals also experience from time to time, but not on a near constant basis like some of the population.

    Like most things in life, it's a sliding scale :p
