Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is ragebait. Of course everyone has been taught all of these.
So I guess neurodivergent people don’t exist then? I personally found it difficult to learn many of these when I was growing up, since I could never truly understand these unspoken rules, which felt like everyone else was communicating them through some other medium I never had access to. I still struggle with them as an adult too, not because I don’t have a will to learn them, but genuinely because nobody explicitly stated them to me before.
I’ve had many autistic and other ND friends, and most of them also had difficulties in these, for which many were targeted as the “odd ones out”, not because they were weird, but because they didn’t know the etiquette.
Neurodevelopmental disorders don’t disappear, and since I’ve realised I’m likely autistic, the reason I didn’t fit in when I was younger fell into place, it wasn’t my fault, it’s just that people are unreasonably expected to follow unspoken rules that are completely invisible to quite a large percentage of the population.
If this induced rage in you, seek therapy my man. Also, if you'd ever spent any significant time around other people you'd know how often these simple etiquette rules are broken.
