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!

I'm not gonna waste my energy dissecting all that, like the gall of claiming I was projecting my "mood" into everything and then admitting you spoke "authoritatively" about another users mental health because you have ADHD and then writing a huge post telling ME, who you already knew has ADD, what the life of someone with ADHD looks like, again based on what you and your three friends have in common, is just stupid enough to leave on its own without getting into the details of how and which ADHD tropes you just kept regurgitating uncritically and positing them as fact.
Like yeah, you showed how much of a patronizing ass you are in just a few dozen words and I made a judgement based on that. You didn't have to write this whole essay to prove it.
This bits funny tho
Nah you just want to talk with the authority of one
Then what good was pointing out you read the DSM-5 cover to cover
Humblebragging is not being humble lol
