Amid her calls for governments to act on climate change, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has spoken openly about her Asperger's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She is not the only environmental campaigner to speak about being neurodivergent (having a neurological condition or disability)—something Thunberg describes as her "superpower."
In the UK, naturalists Chris Packham and Dara McAnulty have both discussed their autism. Packham has said that it has been "enormously beneficial" to his career.
In my doctoral research, I interviewed 23 youth activists, conservation workers and environmentalists to examine the link between nature experiences and mental health in an era of climate breakdown. My findings shed light on the motivations and intentions of neurodivergent people who work in the environmental and conservation sector, as well as those who are drawn to climate activism.
Many of my participants had been diagnosed with mental health, psychiatric and neurological conditions including autism, ADHD and bipolar disorder. They reported finding community and a sense of purpose in the environmental activism movement and through a connection with nature.
Autistic traits and activism In a recent BBC documentary about his life with autism, Packham said that some of the campaigners he works with "either are [autistic] or they have traits of autism, with an aggravated sense of injustice and a deep-rooted desire to tell the absolute truth."

They should be locked up in an asylum, instead we're letting them run the asylum.
I was reading this morning that the Swedish Meatball has gone Full Palestinian.
And she is also probably one of many neurodivergent psycho-malfunctioning climate activists.
"Who started speaking truth to power when she was only 15 years old?"
Unspeakably annoying, on multiple levels.
As Bob Grant used to say: "Get off my phone!"
I saw a video of her acting quite normal, so I suspect her neurodivergence is just an act.

She’s evil, but it’s just an act.
Cow. Deer. Ewe.
Neurodivergent: a kinder, gentler way to say that someone’s nuttier than squirrel poop.
Hard to take a shower seriously these days.
Smoker
a deep-rooted desire to tell the absolute truth.

The “Truth” they were told is true.
Just take and autist person, tell him some “truth” and you have a great repeater and amplifier!
Fetal alcohol syndrome.
Neurodivergent (having a neurological condition or disability)
Biden closes oil pipe line okay it’s clear why he does what he does.
Great post and great label-— “Neurodivergent” which means mentally unstable in their own incapacity and “reality” that is clearly not fact based.
It’s a “spectrum” and she’s not on the far end.
sooo the moral of the story seems to be that in order to believe that man is evil and causing climate change, one must have a mental problem like autism..?
Combined with a pathological inability to distinguish truth from utter nonsense and vicious falsehood.
Wouldn't surprise me at all, after having been taken in by this, more than thirty years ago:
The Nayirah testimony was false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a 15-year-old girl who was publicly identified at the time by her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized and was cited numerous times by U.S. senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to support Kuwait in the Gulf War.In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda
I wonder if Hill & Knowlton is behind Greta Thunberg.
“neurodivergent climate activist”
In other words, she is nuts and so are the rest of them.
