A two-panel meme features a person in a kitchen setting. In the top panel, the person has a slight smile and the text reads, "Thinking I must be a very nice & inclusive person because almost everyone I've invited to my wedding has ADHD and/or autism..." The bottom panel shows the same person with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, accompanied by the text, "Realizing there is another very simple explanation".

My wedding hit full population inversion. It was quite funny watching the few neurotypicals slowly realise the whole dynamic was wrong/unusual. Most of them adapted quickly to join the rest of us weirdos. The few that didn't were quite out of sorts.

Oh, and my wife didn't get diagnosed until well after I was. Nothing was wrong. She was no weirder than her friends... Half of them are now diagnosed in various ways!

    Idk about neurodivergence but without realizing it at first, I've been hanging out with "the differents" since I was able to choose. It paid off.

    We do tend to gravitate towards each other 🤷

    LMAO

    When I was in k-12 almost all my friends were in special education. I mean, I was too but "gifted". I did not get along with the gifted kids.

    I would get praise for demonstrating inclusion but they were just my friends? I liked them? Turns out I was autistic all along 🌠

    Lol, same here! Just about exactly!! It's almost like you took this comment out of my brain, except there were a select few of the other 'gifted and talented' kids who I got along with well...one who I'm still friends with as an adult, who got a late autism diagnosis, too! Ha! I always thought it was weird when I'd get praise for being friendly with the kids in the special education program, or for helping them with their work or whatever.* They were just kids like the rest of us??

    (*which I now realize they definitely should've had an adult aide to help them paid by the district; not to foist the responsibility onto some poor kid who doesn't want their friends to be upset from struggling or failing, and depriving these kids of the help they deserved. They deserved so much better. But that's a whole 'nother rant.)
