I’d be interested if other ND folk have also observed what looks like a higher than usual percentage of displaced people or people moving abroad or living in a multicultural background in their families?
It might have nothing to do with it, but I sometimes suspect that I chose to live abroad because other people’s expectations in social situations are more lenient, or because all culture is alien to me anyways? I also, just like my grandmother before me, proceeded to raise a child that isn’t really fully part of either culture of his parents - another overly self-aware alien.
But then it’s also such a common thing in so many people’s lives that I might be looking for connections where there are none.
I think that’s probably more of a correlation than causation situation. Many people are displaced and many people also have adhd. Perhaps there is a percentage that chooses displacement because of the challenge / relaxation of expectations. I am from a multicultural background. I don’t think that has any affect on my neurological state. My nerves and my feelings? Sure.
