Do you suppose that neurodivergent people might suffer from depression, anxiety, and sometimes commit suicide because they don’t “fit in”?

Like, say, https://www.healthline.com/health-news/rate-of-suicide-3-times-higher-for-autistic-people

There were non-offensive ways to suggest that the psychological difficulties faced by trans people are even more significant than those faced by neurodivergent people. But to totally dismiss the issue and belittle the perspective is, indeed, offensive.
