I got on Reddit today because I was bored, boo, I have no idea why I ever visit that site.I know there are people dunking in the comments, but this thread being entertained whatsoever is mind boggling to me. Would my life with schizophrenia get better under Communism? Sure. But "solving neurodivergence" is some of the most absurd shit I've heard from leftists in a while
One could argue that
"Solves" neurodivergence by valuing it. You're no longer a round peg getting forced into to the most profitably shaped square hole. You're an active participant in a system that's designed to help you find where you fit in best for yourself and your community.
That's the theory, anyway. In practice, its all still people being people. And it's not like the USSR or Soviet China have been above ableism during their runs.
This is true, but neurodivergent people such as myself will still struggle to remember to brush our teeth even in an ideal world. The idea of diagnosis being dissolved under communism because "people will just get better" is kinda ridiculous.
People won't just "get better", but society can be structured to become more accommodating towards different groups. In that sense, the barriers between people come down and they can collaborate and collectivize more easily. For the same reason you'll see cities with amenities for the blind or wheelchair bound, you can imagine communities that are geared to accommodate folks with neurodivergent diagnoses.
What I see - which becomes frustrating in its defeatism - is people who can't imagine a better world or are hostile to any kind of change from the standard. Folks who spit and howl over a sign language interpreter at public events or bemoan the burdensome cost of inserts into sidewalks to aid the blind (like you can find all over Japan or Belgium) make even incremental progress this endless bureaucratic burden. The idea that maybe you don't need to bombard everyone with a kaleodascope of glittery advertisements in order to hijack their attention shouldn't be as radical as it is.
But I like to think a country that's friendlier to autistic people is friendlier to everyone, for the same reason guide walks and warning sounds for the blind and visual queues for the deaf can be a boon to the sighted and hearing as well.
