neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

This might sound a bit dumb, but I am also afraid of getting deradicalized. Any tips for preventing that as well (besides being on leftist online spaces)?
I don't see that as very likely unless you suddenly become a multi-millionaire and your class interests change. I would say most jobs tend to radicalize you further...instead of deradicalizing you.
The higher in my career I get and the more rich people I deal with the more radicalized I become
Yup. My second job was doing IT for hedge funds. That was a formative period for me. Vile, vile people.
I will end up as a labor aristocrat (software dev at large company) so that's the source of the concern
Don't worry about it, as others stated jobs tend to radicalize you further especially the more disparity you deal with. Anyway you're going to a city, there should be all sorts of orgs there you can hook up with if you're really interested in going the other way.
leftist IRL spaces, tbh
I am both a bit afraid to organize (the social interactions and getting in trouble with the cops if the country goes full fash in the future, or more accurately someone close to me getting in trouble), and I don't know if I will have enough energy to do that after work. I actually plan to donate to orgs if I don't manage to do work
