I see you've already jumped to a possible result 👍. Exactly what I was aiming for, basically hard earned honest self respect and worth.

But the basic question was also a factual one, I really don't know what is meant by typical neurodivergent mistakes.

To give proper credit to your original question then. Assuming that others share the drive to discover the actual truth in a situation and are willing to do what it takes to get there may be regarded as an ‘ND mistake’.
