The line you draw between "weirdness" and "neurodivergence" is interesting.

Would neurodivergence have to be native (so, not grown "naturally") and at which point does weirdness fit on the spectrum ?

Recently I think people are more receptive to lower degrees of neurodivergence. I see it the same way people understand that you have a gradation between having difficulties climbing stairs and not being able to walk. We could probably have it more in the open that many are not full blown clinically diagnosed ASD patients, and I wouldn't see it as an issue to have "false positives" of diversity lumped into neurodivergence if it was destigmatized.
