It's also good for (at least some?) ~~neurological~~ neurotypical* people. I rarely connect with people romantically, but if a dude just wanted to show me cool rocks he'd found, I'd definitely be well on my way to falling to in love

*Autocorrect made me look like a douchebag! Sorry!

I would like to preface that I am not saying this to be judgemental and I'm not implying that anyone was hurt by it, but,

I'm not sure if you used "neurological" instead of "neurotypical" on purpose...? Because literally every creature with a brain is neurological.

And while I definitely used "neurodiverse" instead of "neurodivergent" on purpose because it feels nicer, implying that the opposite term is "neurological" might sound to some as though you are implying that neurodivergent/aneurotypical people have no neurological framework and I hesitate to jump to the conclusion that that's actually what you meant.

That was an autocorrect error, I stg! Was supposed to be neurotypical!

Sorry!

No apologies necessary! I actually thought it was more likely that going on. I hope I did not come across as too confrontational!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Not at all! Let's both agree autocorrect is real villain here haha
