I’d be interested if other ND folk have also observed what looks like a higher than usual percentage of displaced people or people moving abroad or living in a multicultural background in their families?

It might have nothing to do with it, but I sometimes suspect that I chose to live abroad because other people’s expectations in social situations are more lenient, or because all culture is alien to me anyways? I also, just like my grandmother before me, proceeded to raise a child that isn’t really fully part of either culture of his parents - another overly self-aware alien.

But then it’s also such a common thing in so many people’s lives that I might be looking for connections where there are none.

    I live in a city with a large technical university. I’m seeing this correlation, but I’m guessing it’s because a lot of people move to attend or work at the university, and technical interest and aptitude correlates strongly with some forms of ND.

    Maybe you have a similar hidden variable.
