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!

I want to think this is neuordivergent unmasking, but OP talks about literal COVID unmasking. Like, if you're referring to COVID unmasking, please don't spread COVID misinformation.
I meant neurodivergent masking but decided to just respond sincerely to those that misinterpreted
I don't think I'm spreading misinformation. Studies have shown one wearing a medical mask amongst the unmasked doesn't help oneself while cloth ones a tiny bit and N95 grades is effective
This is incorrect and dangerous. Also wear an N95 if you're concerned about the efficacy of other masks.

I said an N95 is effective by itself yes
That study only shows efficacy of masks at preventing COVID 19 particles penetration
I'm talking about efficacy of preventing COVID while being the only one masked in a crowd of unmasked
Masked surgical gives you an upper bound of 90% chance risk of infection with only one other unmasked person. N95 gives you a 20% with only one other unmasked person

Look, I support masking and like I said, I would love to wear one if most others would also wear one. I was wearing a mask by my lonesome for months after quarantine ended
Listen comrade. A one off study should not put set against a systematic review (see Wikipedia's guidelines for medical sources). If you want to be helpful, don't make controversial statements about medicine, in which wrong information could get someone hurt or killed.
