@35yearoldfriend My teacher used to say I was special and they put me in class with interesting kids and things and it was really fun we builded Legos in 9th grade
it is actually very scary when i tell someone to leave me alone for disrespecting my boundaries, only for them to NOT leave me alone by contacting my friends and saying “i don’t know what i did wrong” after i explicitly told them the reason why they made me uncomfy !!
The constant romanticizing and quirkifying of autism and ADHD has led people to forget they are actual disabilities. These are not nice things to have. To varrying extents, they make social interactions more difficult. And some of these tendencies are not nice for other people.
