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!

Dear Autismdragon: can you do me a favour and unwrite this post, so that it isn't relatable anymore? Many thanks! ^/s^
Except I never even considered that the shit I do would or could be abusive or manipulative.... inadvertently offputting, yes, I am always the initater while always annoying the other person, yup that's me. Basically having to force myself not to follow up to a message I've sent that somebdy ignored: that one is hard because people will leave me on read for months unironically and then just go "lol oops hi" or whatever. People leaving... I do seem to sort of move through different people groups, but only recently have people started really leaving me on read for eternity.
New discovery, right now, which I didn't consider: I am a bad person! Fuck.
I have no idea what coping for this looks like, but ReadFanon put some excellent replies in a thread of mine about various medications meant to minimise the effects of rejection sensitivity, which was wild. Maybe it could be of help to you?
Even if not, thanks for making this thread.
Well I feel bad that I've made you feel like a bad person with my own feelings lol. I dont think either of us are intending to be abusive or manipulative. For me though, some of my behaviors end up being that even if i dont mean it. Idk about you and I dont think you should take that to heart for yourself.
Don't, I don't think it's a terrible thing to keep in mind. I am very aware also that I can't trust my perception of social matters, like at all lmao, positive or negative - I have no idea when or if I'm posting cringe or w/e. So sometimes I get the inkling that I am bugging people or doing a bad, but who knows if I actually am
