The pathology of the "Weaver" lies in the–dare I say—kitsch portrayal of what is traditionally the norm in oral cultures. The problem is that contemporary art lacks the richness of these cultures of the past.
I have a hunch that a part of the topic of "neurodivergence" is an abstraction over the effects of a hyperliterate society without a cause or heritage and the trials that people of a more oral disposition face.
The advocacy you speak of is also concerning, because it makes it all the more apparent to me that people with bad taste (i.e., are culturally deprived) are using the pathology of pathologizing as a power grab.
