When all brains are working
People with a gangly brain are called neurotypical. At least 20 percent of the world's population is neurodivergent. That could be called an A-typical brain. That's often seen as a disability or disorder, something we have to fix. Many of them are given a medical label such as autism, ad(h)d, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, or otherwise labeled such as highly sensitive or gifted. For many neurodivergent people, the standard way of working or directing things chafes so much that it bothers them. They are much more likely to experience frustration, conflict and even dropout or dismissal because the environment does not suit them or because their talent is not recognized.
