Neurodiverse pilots groups
Is anyone aware of any support networks for neurodiverse pilots? Asking for some friends, as it were.
If you prefer, feel free to send me a PM, before the snickering gets started.

Isn't every person neurodiverse? Or is this a term for a specific form of neurosis?
Re: Neurodiverse pilots groups
For anyone wondering what neurodiverse is, I had to look it up myself.
“Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits”
“Conditions that can be classified as clinical neurodiversity include: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. autism spectrum condition. intellectual disability”
I personally don’t know of a support group but I do know someone with one of the above conditions, the drugs typically prescribed for it are on the prohibited list.

The thing is autism is a spectrum. To the point where many are very high functioning.
Piloting probably attracts a lot of low spectrum autistic people because of things like pattern recognition, organization, and routines.

Not sure if very many autistic people can make it through training.
Piloting/Aviation attracts people with a narcissistic personality disorder - seen plenty of examples over the years.
Some really extreme personalities - to the point I refused a fleet transfer at one company.
Easy to spot once you know what to look for.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business

That's surprising to hear. I've worked in a number of fields and pilots are by far the best people to work with.Eric Janson wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 5:30 am Not sure if very many autistic people can make it through training.
