I'm not sure if is just me but it trully does seem that the prevalence of neurodiversity in places like this is way higher than in the average population.

Generally yes. I don't presume to know that the threadiverse is an example of that, but it seems to be, and it would make sense if it was.

Basically, Reddit is the school cafeteria and Lemmy is the steps outside the door in the corner by the art room.

Does every school have stairs by the art room??

[–] eighty@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not sure about stairs but every art-specific room I came across had a designated space or exit to airdry/safely paint spray.

Ours had entry to a courtyard but down the hall just a bit was stairs up to 2nd floor then exit to outside with stairs

...every art-specific room I came across had a designated space or exit to airdry/safely paint spray...

....plus the ubiquitous, 10 foot tall cheese plant

Lol, nah. My school was a U shape, and the art room was at one end, so we could just walk outside, no stairs.

Mine was like a block 8 with a T and two floors. Two courtyards, one of them I never made it in to. The other one though was accessible through the art room.
