Alex Karp keeps saying the future belongs to the neurodivergent. He might be right. But before you claim the label, a harder question: divergent from what norm, set by whom, and who benefits from the classification?
This diagnostic measures two things. First: where you actually sit relative to the cognitive and social norm. Second: how you think about the norm itself — whether you accept its authority, interrogate its origins, or something in between.
The combination is where it gets interesting. You can fit the norm and still distrust it. You can diverge sharply and still accept its authority over you. These are different positions, and they imply different relationships to the entire apparatus of diagnosis, treatment, and accommodation.

This is a philosophical exercise, not a medical or clinical diagnostic. It does not detect, diagnose, or screen for any condition. If you have concerns about neurodevelopmental differences, talk to a qualified professional.
