I do wonder if neurodiversity awareness will be the next big “thing”, like LGB awareness was, then transgender awareness.
Not to say those other issues disappear at all, but mainstream culture seems to focus on one main “thing” at a time and I don’t think neurodiversity has really had the spotlight yet.
Or at least, it seems to only be the extreme cases that get the spotlight, rather than the more common, unseen struggle that people often mask and hide.
If it comes to pass as you suggest, it will surely be weaponized by conservatives the same way they first went after the gays and now the trans community.
