    I may have a similar perspective?

    Let’s see.

    I am sick to god-damn death of having my exceptional abilities turned into illnesses!

    I have driven myself to the point of stress induced disability trying to learn how to convey meaning clearly. Like many ND, I can intuit large conceptual leaps, often correctly. But not always. So I learned to do my homework, fill in the gaps for others (and frankly myself, as I am not always correct and have learned to curb my enthusiasm when my disciplined research shows this).

    At this point, after a modest amount of that sort of effort, I am now inclined to tell people to do their own god-damn homework. If they aren’t gonna try, fuck em.

      I see you’ve already jumped to a possible result 👍. Exactly what I was aiming for, basically hard earned honest self respect and worth.

      But the basic question was also a factual one, I really don’t know what is meant by typical neurodivergent mistakes.

        To give proper credit to your original question then. Assuming that others share the drive to discover the actual truth in a situation and are willing to do what it takes to get there may be regarded as an ‘ND mistake’.
