Question about neurodivergence for kin 

If you're kin, therian, etc. do you consider that to be a neurodivergence?

It seems like most kin are also neurodivergent in other ways, but I wonder if you consider being kin to also be a neurodivergence on its own

Or do you see it in some other way?

Question about neurodivergence for kin 

@RadiantEmber Personally, I wouldn't say so? On one hand identifying as something not (strictly) human is all the more common among folks who aren't *like* what they've been told humans behave like and experience anyway, but on the other you don't -need- that foundation to identify as something else on that fundamental level, if that makes any sense.

It'd be not unlike saying transness is a neurodivergence in its own right, basically.
