THE DISCOURSE SURROUNDING BEING """QUIRKED UP""" HAS HISTORICALLY FOCUSED ON HOW TO MAKE SOMEONE (A CHILD) LESS SO. OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST COUPLE DECADES THIS DISCOURSE HAS SLOWLY LOST ITS MONOPOLY AS A PARADIGM FOR UNDERSTANDING AUTISM AND ASSORTED OTHER NEUROLOGICAL EPHEMERA, GIVING WAY TO A NEWFOUND MODEL OF 'NEURODIVERGENCE'. WHILE THIS MODEL IS A FUNDAMENTALLY USEFUL ONE, WE SEEK TO TAKE THE PHILOSPHY FURTHER BY, AS NEURODIVERGENT ADULTS NAVIGATING A WORLD STILL BEHOLDEN TO PAST DISCOURSES WHICH DISMISS OUR EXISTENCE, ABANDONING THE FRUITLESS AND EXHAUSTING PURSUIT OF TRYING TO GET NEUROTYPICALS, WITH THEIR MYOPIC UNDERSTANDING OF MODES OF BEING, TO UNDERSTAND OR AT THE VERY LEAST LISTEN TO US. THE SCOPE OF THEIR APATHY TOWARDS ENGAGING WITH US ON OUR TERMS IS BOUNDLESS, AND YET WE ARE EXPECTED TO PUT EVERY IOTA OF EFFORT INTO ENGAGING WITH THEM IN PRECISELY THE WAY THEY EXPECT, WHICH IS A PERETUALLY-MOVING GOALPOST TO BEGIN WITH. THE INHERENT CRUELTY AND ENTITLEMENT OF THESE EXPECTATIONS CAN BE PUSHED BACK AGAINST BY NO LONGER SUFFERING TO MEETING THEM (UNDERSTOOD TO MANY AS 'UNMASKING'), BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE INTENTIONALLY RECLAIMED, SUBVERTED, AND UTILIZED AS A MEANS OF CAUSING GENERAL MAYHEM. WE SEEK TO DO MORE THAN SIMPLY UNMASK OUR NEURODIVERGENT TRAITS; WE AIM TO EMPHASIZE AND ENHANCE THEM THROUGH UNORTHODOX METHODS, ESPECIALLY THOSE METHODS WHICH ARE OBTUSE, UNCOMFORTABLE, OBNOXIOUS, OR OTHERWISE EXTREME AND/OR ODD. NEURODIVERGENTS HAVE ALREADY UNLOCKED AN ADDITIONAL 30%-60% OUR BRAIN COMPARED TO THE MERE 10% OF OUR LAUGHABLY AMATEUR NEUROTYPICAL CONTEMPORARIES ยน. THROUGH OUR PRACTICE, WE UNLOCK THE FULL 100%.
