CBT by itself is inappropriately prescribed as a comprehensive treatment plan for ADHD-related insomnia when there's little evidence for its efficacy compared to CBT for other insomnias. And don't get me started on CBT and autism.

Agree! CBT is a way for the neurodivergent or the Neurodifferent to fit into a world that we had no hand in designing.

I saw a great quote on Reddit recently about psych wards being "conversion camps for the neurodivergent"! That really stood with me.
