A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

None of this is rare for people on the spectrum.
Contrary to popular belief, autistic people don't have trouble to make friends on a vacuum, they have communication problems with non-autistic people. If your kid is on the gifted program...
Don't take any of this as offense. I'm autistic and I'm finding my way to thrive in life. It just would have been easier if I had been given the appropriate resources instead of being discriminated against.
As I said to the other poster, it's not me who said this but them who implied it. They were the one who said society hates neurodivergent people. I'm pointing out that my supposed neurodivergent (why isn't addressing their claim that only neurodivergent people can be gifted?) child is very socially competent and well accepted by society
That being said, this kid is not neurodivergent. My other one, definitely. Smart and sociable, but ADHD.
I was just mostly addressing the fact that none of the reasons for which you claim one of your kids isn't neurodivergent is actually a valid refutation.
At no point did I say my kid is or is not neurodivergent, until this last post. The poster I was responding to was wrong either because being gifted does not mean being neurodivergent, or because being neurodivergent is not hated by society.
Neurodivergent people are mistreated by society though, regardless of if we are hated. Some neurodivergent people very much are looked down upon, bullied, and face massive discrimination too. It depends a lot on what kind of neurodivergence you have and how it presents to other people.
Let's keep in mind what I was initially responding to.
