Just the title. Trying to understand what would genuinely suffice for somebody to be diagnosed as neurodivergent.

It’s a nonmedical term for people whose brains/thought patterns differ from most other people’s.
For instance, a neurodivergent person might struggle in social situations but excel in music without much effort. A normal person has no struggles with social situations and also excels in music, but it took them years of effort and practice to achieve the proficiency that the neurodivergent person attained in a much shorter period of time.
It has also been co-opted as a politically correct term for people with autism, ADHD, and other conditions. Largely because it frames these conditions as differences rather than disabilities.
