Neurodivergence only becomes a disability in context of the society you live.

I'm going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Whilst I agree that society adds a ton of extra barriers for us neurodivergent people, there are still a lot of people who would genuinely still struggle to function in a perfect society. E.g. high support needs autistic folks.

Even without society, I would still have debilitating interoception issues, executive dysfunction etc.

I have considered this point before and i settled on the perspective that neurodivergence does not replace the concept of a disability.

You can be neurodivergent and still experience a general disability at the same time. But I don’t view the neurodivergence as the reason why there is a disability.

In a similar vein I speculate it might be possible for neurological disabilities that exist but that only affects some neurotypes. Similar to how a disease can adversely affect different sexes. But that would be something future psychology will have to answer, not me.
