This LinkedIn article argues that the traditional view of Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in neurodiverse individuals may be flawed. It suggests that linear thinkers, who dominate societal structures, may actually lack the ToM necessary to understand nonlinear thinkers, such as those with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The article advocates for a more inclusive understanding of neurodiversity and encourages a shift in how society defines "normal" cognitive functioning.
