I understand what its literal definition is, but I also know from experience that it is used constantly to refer to autism, ADHD, and the concept of hyperfixations etc, and I am writing narration that is in the voice of a human perspective that would likely adopt the cultural understanding of the term. Ignoring that context just feels like being unhelpfully obtuse, like interpreting "slay queen" as regicide.

I'm also not trying to fight or anything, but this is the first complaint about that line so far, and I kinda suspect, the last, is my point.

"Words have meaning, and I very much doubt people with dyspraxia are known for enjoying a good tech panel. We're talking about autism here."

IDK your background or experience, but from what I've seen "neurodivergence" is almost exclusively used by folks to refer to ADHD and autism. You seem to be claiming that it refers specifically and exclusively to dyspraxia, but in terms of common parlance I believe you're just incorrect here. Ask around, I guess.

The art literally wasn't finished yet? It's not a mystery.

Interesting, my least favorite John Green book was An Abundance of Katherines, since it slid right off my brain, and I read that one right in the middle. I think my favorite was his most recent (fictional) one: Turtles All the Way Down, since it came from such a personal space. But yes, his then transition into nonfiction was pretty smooth so he didn't necessarily need his characters all along lol

I uploaded.... something. No idea if it works lmao
