    A variant of this phrase seems to comes up in every neurodivergent community thread.

    All humans piss, but only those with untreated diabetes piss every half an hour.

    It’s not just about the action, but the frequency or context of the action as well.

    All humans get anxious, but some people are anxious all of the time. At that point it’s deemed divergent from what is typical.

    All humans get distracted, but some people get distracted considerably easier and more regularly than others.

    All humans can focus, but some people will focus for 12h straight without moving to eat or go to the toilet.

    Frequency and context matter.
