“I know many people just in my program who hide [their neurodivergence], because people who do mention it to faculty members are treated much differently,” one study participant noted. “And so, it’s kind of easier to just deal with it on your own and not tell anyone, and maybe struggle behind the scenes.”
I chose this quote because it exemplifies an large issue in our modern day society. many people with neurodivergences are treated differently by society, and becuase of this seek solemn rather than help. this affects these people harshly and sometimes even prevents them from achieving certain things. this relates to me becuase i plan on going into a people oriented job field and its important that im able to understand my customers in order to help them.
