Hi! I'm Maz! And I'm neurodivergent! Least my psychologist says so. I have a lot of psychs in my social circle, one being my aunt, who are among those I dedicate this third book to. Now, we have a theory. My aunt is a psychiatrist and my friend is a psychologist in training. And my psychologist affirms that this could be true. Now, the basis? My family, who many have neurodivergence along with my friends, who may have neurodivergence, may have each a form of trained or untrained savant.

What is neurodivergence? Neurodivergence or atypicality, is a human condition that makes one act divergently from neurotypical people. In other words, since they see the world differently, they act differently, too. Some have mannerisms, learning problems, speech problems, and various other problems that could arise from an inadequate environment at home. Now, each autistic person seems to notice at least one pattern. That being patterns that rise from something we call "platforms" of the universe. For example, a neurotypical person may see a game as something for leisure, while a neurodivergent person may see the game as a place for education, gaining experience in learning about strategy.

Savant comes when that certain platform becomes grounds for learning and even mastery of the subject. For example, a regular person can be a jack-of-all-trades, learning different things through tedious cycles of learning. A neurodivergent person could simply have fun on something they're interested in and commit to it, eventually mastering a certain aspect of it, such as gaming, writing (wink, wink), teaching, singing, fighting (WINK, WINK cough cough Miguel Azral cough cough) and other forms of hobbies. Once mastered, that platform will become their Savant. Savantism only happens, according to this theory, when neurodivergence meets atypicality. Since this chapter is going to be short, I sadly cannot write them all down, since this requires tedious research, but I do say that this theory we made makes the most sense to me, and is thus the basis of Miguel's arc. This book is dedicated to all know neurodivergent people out there and parents who also have children or people with family members who have this as a form of not only comfort, but a learning experience and one that unites us all.

Fun Fact: Miguel Azral isn't your typical neurodivergent savant, is he? No. He's not one like the ones in the Good Doctor or Big Bang Theory where the atypical person is the smartest one in the room. He has below average intelligence and flunked a lot in school prior to the school focusing more on his interest, fighting. That's why Prometheus made the school that way, to make Miguel prepared for the real world. Albeit it may be selfish, it was for the greater good in this world's context.

The underlying theory is that NOT EVERY NEURODIVERGENT PERSON has savant, BUT EVERY NEURODIVERGENT can, if you work hard enough for it.
