Neurodiversity
Neurodivergence refers to variations in neurological functioning that diverge from what is considered typical or "neurotypical." While there is no single, universally agreed-upon list, neurodivergent disorders generally include conditions that affect cognition, behavior, perception, or social functioning.
1. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) (controversial as a separate diagnosis)
Asperger’s Syndrome (outdated term, now part of ASD)
2. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD (Predominantly Inattentive Type)
ADHD (Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type)
ADHD (Combined Type)
3. Learning Disabilities & Processing Disorders
Dyslexia (difficulty with reading and language processing)
Dyscalculia (difficulty with math and numerical processing)
Dysgraphia (difficulty with writing and fine motor skills)
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Visual Processing Disorder (VPD)
Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD)
4. Intellectual Disabilities
Global Developmental Delay
Down Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome
Williams Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome
5. Communication Disorders
Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder
Speech Sound Disorder
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Selective Mutism
6. Tic Disorders
Tourette Syndrome
Chronic Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder
Provisional Tic Disorder
7. Mental Health Conditions Often Considered Neurodivergent
Schizophrenia Spectrum & Other Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia
Schizoaffective Disorder
Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Delusional Disorder
Mood Disorders with Neurological Features
Bipolar Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder (long-term cases cause atrophy in brain regions like the hippocampus)
Dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder)
Anxiety & Related Conditions
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) (sometimes considered)
Panic Disorder (sometimes considered)
Trauma-Related Disorders (sometimes included)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (when it significantly alters cognition and sensory processing)
Complex PTSD (CPTSD)
Dissociative Disorders
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder
Personality Disorders (Not all PDs)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Schizotypal Personality Disorder (StPD)
8. Sensory Processing Differences
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) (not formally recognized in DSM-5 but widely acknowledged in neurodivergent communities)
9. Epilepsy & Neurological Conditions (sometimes considered)
Epilepsy
Migraines with Aura
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
10. Other Conditions Sometimes Considered Neurodivergent
Hyperlexia (advanced reading ability with comprehension difficulties)
Synesthesia (cross-wiring of sensory experiences)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) (due to high comorbidity with neurodivergence)
Autoimmune Encephalitis (when it affects cognitive function)
Neurodivergence is a broad and evolving concept, with some conditions more widely accepted as neurodivergent than others. The core idea is that neurodivergent individuals experience the world in ways that differ from neurotypical standards, often due to innate neurological differences.

fragile x syndrome: a gene (that makes a protein needed for normal brain development) on the X chromosome shuts down. Consequently, brain doesn't develop as it should. Symptoms are generally milder in women. Causes emotional & behavioral problems, intellectual impairment(more common in men). Often also have autism.
I decided to educate myself a bit on different disorders so I'll be adding stuff but this is more of a note to myself
As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:
People with Down syndrome
People with Fragile X
People with William’s syndrome
People with dyslexia
People with dyspraxia
People with dyscalculia
People with dysgraphia
People with Prader-Willi syndrome
People with PANS or PANDAS
People with aphasia
People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses
People with cerebral palsy
People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero
And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)
You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.
I love you all ❤️

I am the sibling of a child with Prader-Willi Syndrome. I love my brother to bits and pieces.
We cannot let him eat as much as he wants, because "as much as he wants" equals "eating so much his stomach ruptures" which equals "he dies."
But we give him as much autonomy over his food as we can. We tell him how many calories he has for each meal, and we let him decide what to do with them. We find low-calorie options for everything so he can eat more / feel fuller. We advise him on which things will be most healthy or make him feel most full for the longest amount of time, but we let him decide.
He seems to also be autistic, so the rigid routine is good for him. We count every single calorie and he likes it that way. He insists on knowing exactly when mealtime is and getting someone to feed him right away. He insists on sitting in his spot at the table, where we have a camera pointed. The camera is there in case he tries to steal other people's food, which we do our best to measure and deduct from his total calorie allowance.
He is supervised constantly and the kitchen doors are locked so that this happens as little as possible. Giving him autonomy includes saving him from his own impulses that he verbally regrets later. Giving him his autonomy means he is incredibly aware of the pros, cons, benefits, tradeoffs, and so on of each decision. He knows if he steals extra food now, he'll be hungrier later. He knows if we let him eat early, everyone else will eat at the normal time and he can't. (We keep him out of the kitchen in such cases, because to do otherwise is cruel.)
He understands the concept of focusing on other things rather than his own hunger. The other day he read a book and then turned to me and said, "I shouldn't have read that, it has food in it." I commented on how hard it is to know if a book contains food, and it's okay that he didn't know. (He also has a very rigid understanding of morals.)
He is a happy little boy of 9 who appears closer to 5, with a severe stutter and intellectual difficulties. He loves music, especially old hymns. He learned to type by painstakingly comparing the church hymnal to the keyboard so he could listen to them on YouTube. Now that he knows the songs, he hosts church in the living room when he is bored, copying the preacher at our church. He also reads from the Bible and delivers a short message to his audience, which is often imaginary, but which his siblings participate in from time to time. He delights in cheating Satan out of sin: many times when he is tempted, he will triumph, fo the right thing, and go off chuckling delightedly, "haha, take that, Satan!"
Despite his understanding of morality, the supernatural, and what benefits him most, the reality of constantly being hungry catches up with him quite often. He sneaks food, with increasingly clever strategies as he ages, and if allowed outside, he will often eat cat food or run away to beg from the neighbors. Another strategy is to find a smartphone unattended and call the emergency number, just for someone to talk to. Other times he simply lies to them (e.g. the time he said one kid pushed another off the roof).
Despite all this, he is, in fact, one of the best cases of Prader-Willi Syndrome. He is mobile. He can JUMP. He can run. He is a healthy weight, and he is happy most of the time. He laughs often. He tells all sorts of stories.
So, here I have told his. I looked through the Prader-Willi tag and saw a lot of informative links for parents and one (1) personal post about representation. So here's my contribution to Prader-Willi awareness. My brother's story is not typical, but it's a start.

July 18, 2024:
Can't help the comparisons to Tender Is The Flesh, another nauseous book named for its meat industry. I think I liked this one better, but I can't remember how I rated TITF.
But really, this is more of a pathogen story, a plague, an airborne danger to both avoid and accept as an inevitable part of daily life. That's a familiar background anxiety, but the part about the child who cannot stop eating makes me so sad.
It's a short, frustrating book, and I don't want to examine why it was frustrating.

bro I can’t stop thinking about chase with a nerdy doctor reader who is basically the female Spencer Reid, goes of on tangents about the most random things that she somehow knows about and he is so happy to just sit there and listen 😩
Tumblr media
𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭. (𝐫.𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞)
you like to ramble, Chase likes to listen.
fem!reader ☆ 1.1k ☆ masterlist. ☆ guess who’s backkkk
You don’t always notice when you're talking too much. It’s not intentional—it’s just that your brain moves faster than your mouth can keep up with, and when you latch onto something fascinating, you have to share it.
Right now, that something is the patient in Room 312.
You adjust your coat and push a stray strand of hair out of your eye, flipping through the patient’s file while Chase leans against the counter beside you. His posture is relaxed—arms crossed, weight shifted to one side—but his eyes are on you, steady and observant.
“This is so interesting,” you murmur, barely containing your excitement as you review the preliminary lab results. “I mean, it’s tragic for the patient, obviously, but from a medical standpoint, this is an incredibly rare case. Look—this deletion on chromosome 15? That could indicate Prader-Willi syndrome, but given the patient’s lack of speech development, the ataxic gait, and the characteristic happy demeanor, I think it’s more likely Angelman syndrome.”
You glance up, half-expecting Chase to be looking at the clock or zoning out like most people do when you go on a tangent.
Instead, he’s watching you.
He tilts his head slightly, a hint of a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “And what makes you think that?”
Encouraged, you straighten and turn the file around, pointing to the genetic test results. “Well, it all depends on which parent the deletion came from. Both Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes result from imprinting errors on chromosome 15. If the deletion is inherited from the father, it causes Prader-Willi syndrome. But if it’s inherited from the mother, it results in Angelman syndrome.”
Chase hums in acknowledgment, his gaze still locked on you, but you’re too deep in thought to notice the way he’s studying your face rather than the test results.
“The cool thing about imprinting disorders,” you continue, “is that they show how genes aren’t just about inheritance but also about which parent they come from. It’s not just about the presence or absence of a gene—it’s about whether that gene is supposed to be active in a particular parental copy. The same genetic region can cause two completely different disorders depending on whether the missing part came from the mother or father. Isn’t that wild?”
You pause, catching yourself.
You’ve been talking non-stop for at least two minutes.
Most people don’t last this long.
Your excitement fades slightly as you glance at Chase, expecting polite disinterest. Instead, he’s still looking at you, arms still crossed, that small smirk still lingering.
Your face heats up. “Uh—sorry. I tend to… ramble,”
He exhales a quiet chuckle. “I noticed,”
You chew the inside of your cheek, looking away. “You could’ve stopped me, you know,”
“Why would I do that?”
You glance back at him, surprised by his tone—warm, easy, almost fond.
His smirk softens into something more sincere, and you suddenly feel very aware of how close he’s standing. Close enough that you can smell his cologne—something clean and subtle, like cedar and soap.
You quickly look down at the machine running the genetic test. The results are almost ready, the sequence data processing line by line.
A small beep signals the final printout.
You grab it, scanning the page with an eager intensity that momentarily pushes Chase’s gaze from your mind. “A maternal deletion,” you murmur, eyes widening. “It is Angelman syndrome,”
Chase straightens slightly, stepping closer to glance at the results over your shoulder. “And that means…?”
“It means we need to tailor the treatment accordingly. Angelman patients benefit from seizure management, physical therapy, and specialised communication support since they often have minimal verbal speech—” You stop yourself, pressing your lips together.
There you go again.
“Sorry,” you mumble. “Rambling again,”
Chase shakes his head, smiling. “No, keep going. You were saying?”
You blink, caught off guard.
He actually wants to hear more?
“…Right,” you continue hesitantly. “So, one of the main issues in Angelman syndrome is the loss of function of the UBE3A gene in neurons. Normally, the maternal copy of UBE3A is the only active one in the brain because the paternal copy is silenced. So when there’s a deletion on the maternal side, the patient essentially loses all functional UBE3A expression in their neurons, which leads to the neurological symptoms—seizures, developmental delays, lack of speech,”
You pause again, gauging his expression. He’s not just listening—he’s engaged.
You exhale softly, almost disbelieving.
“…Most people don’t let me talk about this stuff,” you admit.
Chase shrugs. “Most people are missing out,”
Your breath catches for just a moment.
Before you can respond, there’s a soft knock at the door, and you both turn as House steps in. “I’m gonna guess by the look on both your faces that the test was positive,”
You straighten, holding out the test results. “Yep. The patient has Angelman syndrome due to a maternal deletion on chromosome 15,”
House nods approvingly. “Good. Go and tell the parents that their child will have the mental capacity of an 8 year old forever,”
The patient’s parents sit across from you in the consultation room, their hands clasped together anxiously. The mother looks exhausted, her eyes red-rimmed, and the father’s knuckles are white from gripping his knee.
You take a deep breath, softening your voice. “We have a diagnosis for your son,”
Chase stands beside you, his presence steadying as you walk the family through the diagnosis. You explain Angelman syndrome carefully—what it means, how it happens, what treatments and support are available.
And when the mother, voice trembling, asks, “Is there any hope? Will he ever speak?”
You hesitate, choosing your words carefully. “Angelman syndrome affects speech development, but many children learn to communicate in other ways—gestures, pictures, assistive technology. With the right support, he will find ways to express himself,”
Chase steps in then, his voice calm and reassuring. “And because we caught it early, you’ll be able to get him the right therapies sooner. Seizure management, physical therapy, and specialised communication support will all be extremely useful,”
You blink, surprised.
You hadn’t expected him to remember that part.
The mother swallows thickly, nodding, and the father squeezes her hand. “Thank you,” he murmurs. “Thank you for explaining it so clearly,”
You smile gently. “It’s what I’m here for,”
Later, as you walk out of the consultation room, Chase nudges your arm.
“You did good in there,” he says.
You huff a small laugh. “We did good,”
He tilts his head, considering. “Yeah. But I meant you,”
You glance up at him, and for a second, the usual teasing glint in his eyes is replaced with something softer. Something that makes your heart skip a beat.
“…Thanks,” you say quietly.
He smirks, stepping back, slipping his hands into his pockets. “By the way,” he adds, “I think you almost finished your whole genetics lecture before we got interrupted. You’ll have to tell me the rest later,”
You narrow your eyes. “You’re making fun of me,”
Chase grins. “Maybe a little,”
You roll your eyes, but you can’t help the small, warm smile tugging at your lips.
Because for the first time in a long time, you don’t feel like you’re too much.
You feel understood.
And when Chase walks away, glancing back at you with that unreadable smile, you wonder if maybe he understands you more than anyone ever has.

is it offensive to call pwdwarfism "dwarfs"? ive heard a few people use it to refer to themselves, is it akin to reclaiming a slur? what are other words i can use if so?
Hello,
So, according to this post by @a-little-revolution, which is a video featuring a few people with dwarfism discussing the terminology the prefer, "dwarf" is an iffy term. It could be taken either way by people with dwarfism, some see it as an offensive term, others are completely fine with it, so it's probably best not to use if if you don't have dwarfism. If someone with dwarfism says it's fine for you to address them in that way, it's fine to refer to that particular person like that, but it's not a term they're all comfortable with
More acceptable terms include Little Person and person with dwarfism in an activism setting. But outside of that context, just refer to them by their names.
Mod Aaron
Hi lovely asker
So my thing is outside of medical circumstances and activism sorta talk, I don't see a need for the terms of dwarf, little person, and so on. If someone comes up to me and ask why I'm short (which has happened a multitude of times) I just say "I have a type of dwarfism". Most of the time people don't believe me especially because I have proportional dwarfism which is a less uncommon type of dwarfism that people don't take into account.
And the conversation of "well what do we call people that look like you" well you call us by our names. If you don't know our names just say "The shorter person, the small person" just normal descriptive terms.
If you're doing activist, or advocating, the general term that is used as a whole is Little Person/People or LP for short. If you're talking about another person, you're probably close enough to that person to know what terms they prefer. Midget is an absolute no, anytime and always. Dwarf—as Aaron said—is iffy with a lot of people. Dwarfism is another that some people like and some people don't. Little person is the most accepted one and even a lot of organizations have this as their names. Short Stature is one I'm honestly not sure about because people with proportionate types of dwarfism (Tuner syndrome, prader-willi syndrome, Noonan syndrome, and many more) are usually given the secondary diagnosis of Short Stature Syndrome. So weird medical stuff here in that not everyone is given that Short Stature Diagnosis it's very confusing and it depends on the doctor and even what type of Dwarfism/condition you have—but my point is some people hate using medical terms to describe themselves so just putting that out there.
Personally I like dwarfism, I don't mind dwarf, and I like the usual descriptive terms for Short. I actually don't like Little Person for myself, I don't like when people call me that, and again it's a personal preference. Even when I talk about myself I say "Short", "Tiny", "itty-bitty", "itsy-bitsy", I call my hands "pudgy" and myself "Stubby", "ant-sized", "The size of a speck of dust", "pocket-sized", my friends call me "Fun-sized" and "pocket-friend"; and even one of my very close friends calls me an "Elf" on occasion when I wear this pair of green socks that fit me comically big. I'm Mexican too so people call me "la nanita", "Chiquita", "poquito", and such.
My argument here is really that there's a lot of normal everyday terms to describe someone, we're not just medical words and definitions.

alright flash fans heres a morbid one for ya.
do you think that if a flash (any one) were put in a situation where they were starved or had little to no food and then were rescued or released after a long while,, do you think they would develop pica or prader willi syndrome because of their need to eat ten times as much and so often?

I sat here scrolling Tumblr and then I heard my dad snoring on the other side of the wall.
And I've been making it a habit to consciously pay attention to the people I love, because I love them.
And so - I wasn't trying but this just came to me because of observations, and knowing, and perhaps the habit of it - I thought oh, that means he's sleeping.
Its the middle of the day. He does this sometimes. He's a very busy person, between two jobs, and 2-4 disabled kids. He takes power naps after lunch. He has a whole strategy. He's told it to me and I listened and I remembered because I love him.
He's also in burnout. My dad is burnt out and I understand because I am also burnt out. I wish I could help him but I am burnt out, and so all I can do is know him, is listen to him snoring and know that he is tired.
I get to listen to him snoring. He is tired. He is sleeping on the middle of the day because he is tired, from taking care of me, who am autistic, and my brother, with Prader-Willi Syndrome (shoutout to ppl with PWS), and his job 1 to pay the bills and job 2 to pay for the future and his wife and his other children and making sure we all get our enrichment.
And so he is snoring on the other side of the wall, and I can picture him tangled up in his blankets and sleeping because he is tired.
And so I get to listen to him snoring and think about all the things he does and how much he deserves rest, and how glad I am that he CAN rest, that he's worried and busy and anxious, but not too worried to sleep. Because he needs to sleep. And it's a blessing that he can do that.
And I'll sit here and appreciate him and all he does because I can hear him snoring (and it keeps everyone else up at night unless he uses his mouth guard, which we all call his snore-teeth, and I know this because I listen and I pay attention and I love him).
And he might never know that I sit here and think of him and love him and all he does, how grateful I am that he takes care of me when I'm his oldest and I'm autistic, and I don't feel overwhelmingly bad about that but I do wish I could help more than I do. Not be so big of a burden as I am. But all I can do is let him sleep.
He might never know that I take the time to listen to him snore. Maybe one of those days when he's feeling horrible I'll show it to him and say "you are loved and I see you and I am grateful for everything you do, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you." Maybe I'll make bits of this post into my Father's Day letter. I've been wondering what to do for that because I've been more vocal lately about how much I love him and sometimes it feels like there's nothing left to put in a Father's Day letter that wouldn't just be the same.
There's something special in just the same, though. Like listening to snoring. There's time. And when you're sitting in the middle of time, in the quiet and the dark and listening to snoring, and wondering when the next snore is gonna come, and contemplating life and love and time - well, I'm not doing anything else. And I'm not getting any younger. And maybe right now I can't mentally DO anything else. But I can do this.
I can contemplate my father, who is wise and loving and who pours himself out constantly, fill my mind with MY DAD instead of something else, because I love him.
I lied. My first thought wasn't "oh, that means he's sleeping." Well, it was subconscious. But right after, I thought, "I wish I had someone to love this way," meaning that I want to get married and have someone to love.
But I do have someone to love. I have my father. I can love him. I DO love him. And why am I pining for something I can't have, or worse, for someONE I can't have, when my lovely beautiful Dad is right there loving me in his sleep, in his waking, in his working, in his eating, in his thoughts, in his research, in his everything. I have him? Why do I need anyone else?
