Not ND to my knowledge, but am Therian/Otherkin
Diagnosed or suspect Autism/ADHD/AuDHD, but NOT Therian/Otherkin
Not neurodivergent AND not Therian/Otherkin (...Why are you here?...)
I did a poll like this on amino a few years ago, and there seemed to be an overwhelmingly positive correlation between being neurodivergent & being a therian/otherkin! (I know it's not just Autism & ADHD that count as neurodiversity, but I'm really only thinking from an "impairment in understanding & participating in social norms" standpoint.)
Something like 89-90 of the 100 participants in the amino poll said they were diagnosed with autism, adhd, or both.
I'm including self-diagnosis/suspecting in this study, because I know there's a LOT of people who haven't gotten the diagnosis yet. (I just got the ADHD diagnosed in 2022, & Autism this year, myself.)
I'd like to have another study to look at, especially since I no longer use amino. I know there's some therians who have tumblr as their home base, so I'm doing another poll here.
So, please answer this to the best of your ability! I have no plans to use this data for anything- I'm just curious as a neurodivergent therian myself, lol.
