Claiming a Metaphor
“You’re a wizard, Harry!” is how it feels to learn that you’re neurodivergent.

“Oh, aye, wizard-sight - take in and understand anything in a heartbeat, then move on to understand the next thing, wizards do. No need to read the same page twice, as they say! Muggles think it’s a problem with attention,ast I ‘eard. They just can’t keep up!”

“Don’t me wrong, plenty of wizards are awful! When yer hurt and powerful yer a threat to everyone. ‘S’why we try so hard to find and heal the muggle-raised. Sometimes we’re too late, though.

Replying to @misen__
Hurt people hurt people. Villains are often in pain. When someone is so traumatized that it defines them they lash out, seek to hurt others, etc. Many undiagnosed folks are living with severe cognitive dissonance and trauma. Some become jerks as a result. See Autistic Dark Web
