Thank you for pointing this out! I'd like to clarify, what I meant by a neurodivergent condition affecting every part of life was more about the characteristics - such as with autism directly affecting reading comprehension, audio processing, speech, emotional regulation...phrasing those as aspects of life was actually inaccurate, I think aspects of (the person's) being would fit better. With that changed, a summary of my view would be that a neuroatypical trait can affect all aspects of life, while not necessarily affecting all aspects of the person's being as a neurodivergence does. Thank you again, for being constructive in your reply; I don't often get the opportunity to reexamine the way I say things, without also having to defend the point I was trying to make.
