20% is optimistic
very optimistic... i don't think I even get to two digits...
The technical term for my condition is "donkeybrained".
Do you have a certificate of authentication for these donkeybrains?
Pet Peeve: "The neurodivergent experience" like it's a monolithic thing rather than the weird and wonderful hodgepodge of symptoms, eccentricities, and personalities that fall under the umbrella of neurodivergent. I see it way too often and always assume the writer is narcissistic or just not neuro at all.
Yeah this meme is making autism oversimplified and binary, which I think is harmful to the overall perception of us.
it's actually possible to be in sheer agony 100% of the time even with the special interests
so true mrpmrpmrpmprmrpmp
Yeh. This flesh machine I inhabit is broken. I'd like a refund.
Glad to know it's not just me.
Depends. Online I'm the former (the optimistic type), in real life when i'm not actively stimming it's the latter XD
