The accommodation tax is a myth: neurodivergent-first design helps everyone (and the honest cases where it doesn't)
The accommodation-tax frame assumes designing for neurodivergent users costs the neurotypical majority something. Mostly that's a myth — neurodivergent-first design surfaces friction the majority was tolerating. But not always: the honest version names the genuine tradeoffs and answers them with universal design (options), not a single replaced default.

Most learning design is built for a neurotypical majority and then 'accommodates' everyone else. What changes when we start from neurodivergent cognition — for the autistic learner, the ADHD learner, and everyone else who benefits.
