In short, AI is fundamentally anti-human and should not exist.

Hero worship in science is rotten. There are no giants on whose shoulders we stand. We're all part of a community that spans time and geography. Getting fixated on origin stories is very Marvel. Science doesn't happen in heroland though.

The Call for HE Institutions: Prioritize targeted support to manage this anxiety (especially math/stats and test anxiety) to unlock the full academic potential of neurodivergent students but personalize it! #HigherEd #Neurodiversity

The evidence is clear: High academic anxiety is a significant, separate hurdle for ND students. Their analytic skills are strong, but anxiety is holding them back.

P.S. This study used secondary data—a powerful, underutilized tool that reduces research waste and promotes better investigation. Let's champion theory-driven secondary data research!

Continued:
#Autism: Higher intolerance of uncertainty.
#Dyspraxia: High test anxiety and higher intolerance of uncertainty.
This highlights the need for targeted, domain-specific support that recognizes the unique profile of each neurodivergence.

Compared to NT:
#Dyslexia: Higher cognitive/somatic anxiety, better deliberative reasoning!
#ADHD: Higher test anxiety, lower perceived self-efficacy.
#Dyscalculia: Highest math/stats anxiety, lower math attitudes, fewer deliberative responses.

Crucially, both ND and NT students showed equivalent CRT scores-analytic thinking & mathematical reasoning, indicating anxiety is the primary hurdle, not core decision making.
Anxiety is most acute in specific domains: ND students reported ↑ Math & Statistics Anxiety—critical for success.
