In Star Trek Discovery’s second season, Star Trek’s most enduring character Spock was revealed to have L’tak Torai, a Vulcan version of dsylexia. The idea that Spock is neurodivergent is far from new. He approached challenges with logic, yet still fought to understand and control his still clearly-existent emotions. he revelation allows the show the ability to not only discuss the neurodivergent community, but, in typical Star Trek fashion, Discovery used Spock as an alien metaphor to dissect how minorities face greater challenges when it comes to mental health issues.
