Research on neurodivergence and chronic illness, written up twice: once for the person living it, and once for the person who holds a people budget. Every claim is linked back to its source.
A reaction to chewing or tapping that big used to get filed under overreacting. A run of 2026 studies gives it a prevalence rate, a mechanism, and a scan.

Tell me about the group you have in mind and what you are being asked about internally. I will come back with what I would measure and what I would pilot, in writing, whichever way you decide.
