i believe there are two types of these new *disorders*...there is the genetic

variety of neuro divergence and there is neuro divergence due to injury and or

illness. the former is not a *disease* as such, it is a *difference* in brain

wiring and the latter can be helped by optimising hormones, diet and or sleep.

For me it was the other way round, having suffered classic hypo symptoms without

knowing all of my adult life such as heavy menustration, chronic cystitis and

social anxiety to name but a few, and having been assessed for Aspergers

Syndrome in 2002, my dx of Hypothyroidism in 2008 explains a lot of what I have

put up with throughout my life.
