Neurodivergence

 I was reading a 2020  Genome-wide association study that identifies 48 common genetic variants associated with handedness. Abstract Handedness has been extensively studied because of its relationship with language and the over-representation of left-handers in some neurodevelopmental disorders. Using data from the UK Biobank, 23andMe and the International Handedness Consortium, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of handedness ( N  = 1,766,671). We found 41 loci associated ( P  < 5 × 10 –8 ) with left-handedness and 7 associated with ambidexterity. Tissue-enrichment analysis implicated the CNS in the aetiology of handedness. Pathways including regulation of microtubules and brain morphology were also highlighted. We found suggestive positive genetic correlations between left-handedness and neuropsychiatric traits, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, the genetic correlation between left-handedness and ambidexterity is low ( ...

  I just wanted to tell you what life for me as a Neurodivergent is like along  with some other things that I have. There are a lot of people like me  that are misunderstood. I want to show them that they are not alone.  We should support each other. Neurodivergents shouldn't put each other down. A lot of Neurodivergents have auditory processing problems. I didn't hear words correctly. Spoken words got jumbled up, and so I heard the words incorrectly. That's why I had speech problems. People had to slow down when they talked to me because they were speaking too fast for me. I couldn't sound out words, and so I had problems with reading. I easily forget things that I hear because I have poor short term auditory memory. I believe that Neurodivergents are highly sensitive. A lot of people with learning disabilities are highly sensitive. Sensory Integration Disorder is common in people with learning disabilities, ADHD/ADD, Asperger's Sy...
