"Neurodivergent" describes how a brain differs from the norm. "Neuro-evolved" says what that difference can become: autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, gifted, sensitive and wonderfully wired minds that think in ways the world is only beginning to need.

Low noise, quiet hours and calm places to retreat to.
We say what we mean, and we write things down.
Join in, or don’t. Nobody will take it personally.
