"All neurodivergencies are invisible disabilities" is kind of an oversimplification, IMO. Just speaking from experience, while my position on the visible/invisible disability spectrum (which is a topic for another day) fluctuates, there have definitely been scenarios where I'm walking around with big, bulky, noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses indoors, while carrying a stuffed animal.
Someone who looks at me might not go "Oh, they're autistic", but they will notice that Something's Up, and this definitely carries over to the way I get treated by other people.
