There's tons of good stuff in this post about neurodivergent ways of thinking; I'll highlight this: "Coming to grips with the ways we think, as opposed to the ways we are 'expected' to think, can help unravel universalist assumptions about there being any one way to think at all." Similarly, as quoted by Laura Hilliger: "When we assume language reflects thinking, we may also assume that all thinking reflects our thinking." I don't have anything as cool as synesthesia, but I do know that I think in a way that is - somehow - different from most. I'm fine with that.
