Jim Carrey, Russell Brand, Kurt Cobain, Mark Twain, Matt Groening, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Joshua Jackson, Leonardo di Caprio, Michael Moore, Hugh Hefner. And many more I can't think of from the top of my head.

But hang on, these people don't seem like most NTs I meet.

Maybe there is a third group? Autistics, NTs and something else.

Maybe there are just some people you like and others you don't. Nobody has anyway of knowing what most people's neurology is.

There's more neurodiversity than just autism, you know.

All the people you mentioned were, or are, quirky people.

Some autistic people would classify them as "quirky NT's" or "quirky, but not autistic."

I'm not troubled by them. They are just funny people to me.

This was what i was thinking a little earlier when i saw the post, im certainly one that is drawn towards people that are seen as a little different from the norm, probably due to seeing some form of self reflection or being able to somehow identify in some way...
As an argument... As everyone's brain is different (literally), wouldn't it be correct to say that every human being is somewhat Neurodiverse?

Probably because you don't really know these people well , you perception of them is only based on their media mask ( the side of them they reveal to the media not who they really are )

No doubt. I don't know these people You're right.

But.....there is the perception.

And I've actually known "quirky" people who are not "autistic" in the least.
