I like that idea, but there's so much inconsistency about what "neurodiverse" means (does it include anxiety and depression, etc) that I don't know how easy it'd be to maintain.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I could see a Neurodiverse index with this current page as a subcategory.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.I've recently been reconsidering the idea of an index for neurodivergent creators. As a general rule of thumb, since conditions like depression, anxiety etc are still largely considered mental illness, I suggest we stick with the usual grab bag of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and OCD. Here's a list of conditions considered neurodiverde by the Cleveland Clinic as a guide: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23154-neurodivergent
1,000 years from now there will be no guys and no girls, just wankers.Hey, is there a reliable link for Sia being autistic? I can’t find anything anywhere about it.
Hide / Show RepliesShould the creator of Pokémon be an example? I heard somewhere that he was autistic.
Hide / Show RepliesCan't find a reliable source for this. It's disputed on the talk page for his Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Satoshi_Tajiri
Edited by Twiddler^As was pointed out on that page, it's a rumor that came from a MySpace page.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.I want to say for the record that I find this an uncomfortable trope as an artist should be an artist, not an Autistic artist. For good or ill it will define you if you let it.
Hide / Show RepliesLate response, but we have other similar indexes, for example, Blind Creators or Deaf Creators. It's not a trope, just an index.
I was thinking we should upgrade this index to "Neurodiverse Creators" and include examples of creators with ADHD, dyslexia, OCD etc instead of just autism. Now I know that not many people know what neurodiversity is but I think we should get a Useful Notes page on that to help answer some questions people may have about it. Or we can just include some links to places like The Other Wiki to explain the definition.
Anyway, some neurodiverse creators with conditions other than autism include Daniel Radcliffe (dyspraxia), Justin Timberlake (ADHD, OCD), Solange (ADHD) and Keanu Reeves (dyslexia) if you want any examples to start you off.
