I recently read an article by Bruce Levine who suggests that neurodivergent people are inherently anti-authoritian and the "Normie's" basically persecute and medicate us to maintain their version of order (I'm taking great liberty with my summary).
Its a concept that really piqued my interest as I grew up in the height of the ADD/ADHD diagnosis period and discovered through experience that almost everyone around me who were also labeled as having "learning difficulties" also shared my same sentiments on politics and the world in general. I think its the reason I related so well to Punk Rock music and never understood why anyone would listen to mainstream music.
Anyway, here is that article I was reading. Pretty sure I stumbled on it through Lemmy:
