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!

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

It’s fucked up that we now have to make a note of whether someone is referring to 9/11s per Capita or Real 9/11s

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Mr Brandon. Sir. As an ISO gal I must implore you to notate 9/11s per Capita as 9/11pC, in the interests of disambiguation.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Are they inflation-adjusted 9/11s?

Got sad instead of going to bed.

God I just wish I was happy with how I looked. I would take it over passing in an heartbeat. If I could look in the mirror and just not hate what I see I'd take that over never getting misgendered again, I just want to be comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. I'd kill even to have a minute of that.

I'm going to fucking get there one day, no matter what it takes. I've been on HRT for a year but have done basically nothing else to transition, but I'm going to put the effort in. I want to be happy so desperately badly and I'm done just wishing for it and I'm going to really start going for it.

Turns out "never again" was actually in the tone of post ww1 Germany.

My "hot take" is that I still despise the "unlimited genocide on the first world" meme. It strikes me as making genocide seem like some sort of joke. It's not. It's a crime against humanity.

Got into an argument with a Nazi in a random chat site... I need to not do that as often. Not good for my blood pressure. I should have known where the conversation would go when they said something along the lines of "No one cares about Jim Crow". I'd much rather punch a Nazitook-restraint

Are these megathreads just for us to post whatever is on our mind or do they follow any sort of theme? Legit question I feel dumb asking lol.

In any case I had a job interview this morning that I think actually went ok for once but now I'm in total doomer mode over it because literally everyone else they are interviewing is way more qualified than I am.

I treated myself to junk food and hyperpop for lunch while I decompressed fron the interview. Now I'm getting ready to go to therapy and my head hurts and I sort of wanna curl up in bed.

Groovy. I've been hesitant to post in these because I wasn't sure lol. I saw a few quality shitposty comments and figured it was cool for whatever but wasn't super sure if there were just some inside jokes I'm too new to be aware of ROFL.

Another banger by Slammer on BlueSSkkky bird-mad

altI’m sorry but x will stop” meme format. The text says “I’m sorry but… the forced births will stop.” The Supreme Court building is pictured in the background.

In the center of the picture stands JDPON icon Qin Shi Huangdi dressed like a doctor. The Michael Jordan “fuck them kids” meme is in the foreground, edited so he’s wearing a ceremonial Chinese emperor headdress like Qin Shi Huangdi. There’s a collection of pleases looking woman “wojaks” behind Dr. Qin Shi Huangdi, including the Yerba Girl.

In the upper right hand corner there’s a sonogram image featuring chairman Gonzalo who is boiling baby Hitler in a big steaming cauldron

Grouped together, crying and seething, are pro-life activist Kristan Hawkins, Pope Francis, Elon Musk, and Clarence Thomas.

I'm way too neurodiverse and too much of an asshole to organize goddammit

Actively beefed kinda hard with like 5 ppl I never even met before in the last month

I would love to just shut up and follow but that doesn't really work here especially since I'm leading something now for some reason and I can't stop myself from being a dick whenever I open my mouth

What would you do if you were in a fresh new megathread and wanted to think of a post? Would you post something creative, or just write "first" like a chump? Al Simmons was faced with that choice.

What are your thoughts on self diagnosis of ND? Coming to the reality I’m definitely on the autism spectrum. I don’t think I need to fill out a scantron to figure that out.
