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
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!
Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input
RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
Being neurodivergent exposes you to a very evil side of capitalism.
It shows you how conditional our freedom is. It shows you just how little of a human society sees you as.
You can be a good person. You can be skilled. You can be smart. But if it's not in the way they want, you might as well be dead.

Well put.
hard CW
This is also why "Operation T4" the killings of neurodivergents are so essential to my antifascism. The usefulness can and does decide about who is allowed to life and die. The continuity of exclusion of us from after the war to today, through society, schools, "institutions" (read prisons 
) is a continuity to today. A diagnosis was often the legitimization to use force to remove you more from society than you were before.
It got a bit better, but just as our feathery comrade says, it still remains extremely conditional.
Imagine frequenting a bunch of "normal, orderly" places with "normal, orderly" people and seeing them with means to sustain themselves and have healthy lives. Now imagine then going out to regions with homeless people and noticing that most of them seem to be "crazy" or "weird." It made it very clear what the default path for me was.
Besides that, being neurodivergent kinda forced me to start thinking on a social level really fast in order to be able to adapt. It's one thing to casually learn the backwards ways of society by "normal" means, another entirely to intentionally study them in order to replicate because you just don't get it. And being hyperfocused in history will turn any proletarian into a communist.
Hopefully I don't start a struggle session with this, but it's a big reason I went vegan. I've always had a lot of empathy for animals. One of the main things that made veganism "click" for me was that the same justifications used for killing and torturing animals for pleasure - that they don't have the same abilities as humans and that makes them beneath moral consideration - is the same justification given for all of the horrible things "normal" society does to disabled and neurodiverse people.
I think my inability to feel empathy is the only reason I'm not vegan.
American education pushes the idea of meritocracy very, very hard, snd so when this great Invisible Hand has Walmart rejecting your applications and you're despised by those around you for being a burden, you either do what capitalism wants you to do - rid the world of a useless eater - or you find some other framework that says you have an unconditional right to breathe air and take up space.
Even within a leftist framework, the valuation of "workers" over all else is still alienating when you're part of the lumpenproletariat. The sort of interpersonal abuse of power a disabled person is expected to gi through and be thankful to lead to a real antipathy towards hierarchy, and I don't want to create the conditions for that sort of domination - domination in the name of providing for someone's needs can be profoundly abusive and traumatic.
So yeah, my political autism and anarchism are not really separable.
