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!

Same but I've generally kinda been able to be the guy people like because of that. I've got bender from Futurama appeal, I'm a good joke maker so I've found ways to turn my scathing critiques into a more digestible format and otherwise I make up for it by genuinely caring about others way more than most expect action wise I have shown to go real hard for even the randomest acquaintance. So I get loveable curmudgeon thing. I'm grumpy as hell but no one can deny at any time I haven't taken action to help them or been there when needed. I'm just also kind of a jerk ehos funny and witty enough to get away with way more than I should. Just do good things and stand by your principles and you'll find yourself very well liked. I've been openly described by co workers as ridiculously charming and it is really weird that anyone thinks that way about me, I've got a major mean streak but have found it's also a nice streak, it's a 2 way streak and your powe level grows hard when you open both lanes up evenly. You gotta get people the goods and be fun and also your fury must strike like the hoary hammer of Thor to be the best communist you can be and once I focused my social efforts on being the best communist I can be, I got way better st socializing.
