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

Just got accused of being an AI and "not a person, but something trying to emulate human interaction."

Common liberal smugslord shit. "You must be a Russian/Chinese bot because you disagree with me." smuglord

Also common with cryptofascists, especially the techbro type, that believe in "simulation theory" and use it as a justification to see other people as "NPCs" if they don't like them and want to exploit/hurt them. my-hero

This was just an interaction on a queer social/dating app, no commie stuff had even come up yet. Just a NT lib casually dehumanizing me for having a ND communication style.

That really sucks comrade

Sounds like something chat gpt would claim after reading through real human comments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least it wasn't face to face conversation, i hope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thankfully not. I'll just consider it a bullet dodged lol.

Any time someone calls you a bot, accuse them of trying to No True Scottsman Fallacy the entire human race (no true human would have an opinion that disagrees with me). Weird internet assholes love fallacies.

It wasn't even about a disagreement, just NT bullshit because my communication style didn't fit their expectations.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well they still reached for the "dehumanize" button in response, so they suck.

I've been called robotic before for my flat affect and extremely guarded facial expressions. So not new imo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The number of times I’ve either been compared to a robot or gotten hit with “most people would (react a certain way) is too damn high.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, not completely new, but with the rise of LLMs, a new riff on an old stereotype.

id like to point out that the word robot comes from czech and it means slave/serf and the modern usage came from a film that called all the machines slaves

so in a round about way, its also deriding you for not being rich

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I've had similar things levied at me and it does not feel good being dehumanized like that

Of course, I often want to be a robot, so there's that

There's a reason I always go synth ascension in Stellaris

This has not happened to me yet, but it is far from the first time I have seen someone report it to a forum I use directly (ie not citing a publication or something). It is discouraging.

geordi-no Russian Bots

geordi-yes Failing the Turing Test because real human interactions are now a statistical anomaly.

Love the username, btw. The Death's Gate Cycle is my favorite book series! 💜

I grew up on Weis and Hickman and it was my favorite.

I dressed up as Haplo for Halloween once as a kid. No one knew who I was, but I was happy lol.

I wrote a whole effortpost on how this was going to happen like a year ago but I was too scared to post it owl-pissed
