Neudivergent people also have to deal with being the other. It's clear you don't want to have a discussion in good faith. You keep fixating on the word "rights" in the phrase "fighting for rights or having a voice" in an attempt to reframe the discussion and to avoid having to meaningfully engage in the points mentioned.

Everything I've posted here is in good faith. You've refused to address my point, which is that normative culture necessarily favors "normal people" and there's nothing that can be done about that. Instead, you've decided to confuse the issue by talking about civil rights, which has nothing to do with the post I originally responded to.

  Normative culture don't necessarily favor "normal people" and there are things that can be done about that. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was created for that very purpose. > (1) physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a person’s right to fully participate in all aspects of society, yet many people with physical or mental disabilities have been precluded from doing so because of discrimination; others who have a record of a disability or are regarded as having a disability also have been subjected to discrimination; > (2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem; > (3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services; > (4) unlike individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, or age, individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of disability have often had no legal recourse to redress such discrimination; > (5) individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities; https://www.ada.gov/law-and-regs/ada/ https://www.ada.gov/law-and-regs/ada/

    After reasonable accommodations for people who aren't normal has been made, they will still be at a disadvantage. This is necessarily true.
