ND person: Expresses how neurodivergence effects them in a way others end up finding relatable
Someone else: actually thats everyone :)
Yes some ND experiences can be universalized to an extent but its the acute, specific and overwhelming way that effects us that is the point (also, in this post, the way NT people react to the question is also key).

I'm trying to express that a well-organized and well-run bureaucracy benefits everyone. In the same way that, say, wheelchair ramps benefit more people than just those in wheelchairs and flashing alarms benefit more than just deaf people, a queue system that gives you some idea of time-to-turn benefits more than just people with acute autism.
The ask that autistic people make is only necessary because the logistical infrastructure that should be a default expectation across bureaucratic systems isn't built out or maintained. And the reason for that kind of cheapo/lazy deployment of infrastructure stems from a deliberate impermanence that everyone is expected to endure in a socio-economic system that hates durable public institutions.
I'm so tired of this interaction

Ah yeah, I get what you were going for then. That makes sense. Thanks.
It's not far off from this too-common interaction.
EDIT: The followup reply is I suppose better though.
