Different minds existed long before medicine had words for them.
Neurodivergent people were always here. The world just kept changing the explanation.
In the ancient world there was no category called autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia or neurodivergence. People who thought, moved, spoke, learned or behaved differently were understood through the ideas available at the time.
Depending on culture and context, a person might be seen as gifted, sacred, foolish, cursed, dangerous, touched by spirits, morally flawed, ill, or simply strange. The meaning came from how other people interpreted them.
This matters because it shows the difference was not new. The labels are new. The people were not.
The timeline of neurodivergence is not the timeline of when different minds began. It is the timeline of how societies explained them, controlled them, excluded them, protected them, or finally began to listen.
Awareverse starts from this principle: the person comes before the category.
History shows what happens when a system decides what someone is before it asks who they are.
