Yeah, I looked back at the post to see if I misunderstood something, but yep, they just said "Mental illnesses and neurodivergencies are invisible disabilities" which, yeah, I get the point they were trying to make (someone with depression is less "visibly disabled" than a person in a wheelchair) but. Yeah. Oversimplification.
And I'm super interested in the "people reliably flag me as neurodivergent because of my sensory reactions" thing? Because from my perspective, my reactions to sensory stuff get me flagged as "Wow, they're so weird!"

Are those the same thing, from your perspective?
