Mental health awareness

Sounds nice, but the problem is that being aware does not imply making changes or accounting for the fact that some defects will inevitably hinder productivity, and they would feel very bad if they are judged on reduced performance, not because OF the defect but because of the result of that defect.

Problem

When people realize their mental health neurodivergence cannot be fixed, either they accept it or, more commonly, due to the just-world fallacy, overestimate its benefits and even romanticize it on social media, I guess, which dismisses the fact that some people have those problems and are trying to relate to others who have the same problems, often get the huge sense that they are reacting incorrectly.

Possible collateral

Perhaps the old ones remained hidden - people actually knew what "real" mental illnesses were and the stigma has lowered compared to before (just a bit).
