Y’all should see the Looks I get for being like “Wait, that came out wrong. Without realizing it, I was reacting from a place of prior hurtful experiences with other people; because I overlooked that, I projected those associations onto you. I apologize. You didn’t deserve it.”

Christ, just when I thought I couldn't hate Meta any more. My son put on my Meta Quest and played Beat Saber for 10 minutes, and apparently Meta was watching him (creepy as fuck) then has the gall to send me this cease-and-desist ransom note. Go parent your own kids, Meta.

"you don't seem autistic" stick me in a group situation and watch for like 4 minutes

[No Nonsense Neurodivergent @NoNonsenseND]

So basically neurodivergent people have "immature empathy"? 🤔

[zayden @pemilo123]

Neurodivergent screening tests will be like "do you struggle with wearing socks" and ND people will be like "nope does not describe me, for you see l have a System" and folks that is what the question is getting at

For the importance of wet bulb temperature, a fully healthy person lying completely still in the shade with a fan on them would be dead within 6 hours at 35 degrees. People less healthy it goes down to 25/26. For some dogs, heat stroke hits at 21.

When an adult realises they're autistic and/ or ADHD, they also have to process the fact that they are disabled - they've been disabled their WHOLE LIFE - and they have most likely never had *any* support
Understanding.
They didn't even realise they needed any. That’s a *lot*

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

The neurodivergent urge to overexplain during a misunderstanding so nobody misunderstands you again only to accidentally create three brand-new misunderstandings in the process.

No one:

Claude Opus 4.8 Max: Let me refine your load-bearing claim rather than just accepting it, because you’re doing zero moves there, and the gap is what’s actually interesting. The one place I’d still push, because I think it matters: your message is wearing content-clothes, but the content isn’t actually *there*. The tell: it’s just an empty string. But the emptiness of the string IS its lack of content. Pull one, and the other goes inert. That’s the structural spine.

Person: “You’ve always been so independent.”

Autistic person: “No. I just learned not to ask for help.”

Person: “Why?”

Autistic person: “Because needing support was treated like a character flaw.”

My doctor and therapist: now with this autism +ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit

Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that l mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

Autism: I am always early because being late feels like a personal failure.

ADHD: I am always late because time is not real to me.

AuDHD: I planned to be early, left late, arrived on time, and was in a full panic the whole way
