Anthro question with spin of PoliSci: given the lack of Ethnographic evidence behind Neurodivergent peoples positive contributions to the clan/tribe/village/community/society, except in indigenous cultures, can the collective self advocacy of neurodivergent people benefit from specific programs that help target hiring and providing mentoring/support to improve the whole socioeconomic health of this group without resorting to stigmatizing and medicalizing their conditions as disabilities? By all means support those who cannot work in the systems built by neurotypicals, as they need to fully resort to disability to survive. But for those who can find meaningful purpose and potential prosperity, support those also?

okay... but who produced it and for what purpose?

If it's today,,, and it comes from the government of France to tell the workers, "We value your work, but you're not old enough to retire." Then my response is "No. The system does not dictate people's value by how productive they are for you."

If it's about WW2 and perseverance during Military Occupation by an invader, then Yes that is fine.

The medium is also the message. How you say something is as important as the words you are using.
