Kinda forgetting in these debates on overdiagnosis of neurodivergency. The cost of not diagnosising. The serious cost, of wrong treatments, lives ruined, jobs lost, healthcare lost, dangerous medication given for conditions we don't have. Endless risks, dangers and ultimately deaths.

as an autist myself it lowkey drives me insane how many autistic people try to use their neurodivergency to deflect any accountability for their actions like. not how that works

Genuinely how so many people online talk about mental health (and neurodivergency in general) and it drives me fucking insane (pun intended).

it really really sucks how job applications ask me if I have a disability (including neurodivergency) and then never ask for details, even if I get hired
almost like that fact only serves to make me a statistic rather than, y'know, someone who can be accommodated in any way

ADHD testing today. Time to find out if I definitely have neurodivergency or obviously have neurodivergency.

Also, there was only one medical professional I've ever talked with who knew more about neurodivergency than me. And she diagnosed me.

If you’re doubting about your neurodivergency, you’re definitely neurodivergent.

Yeah that's definitely true. I've had thoughts recently that I might never "feel" fat (related to some neurodivergency body stuff I've been unpacking), and I should set goals with that in mind. Your perspective has been really interesting on that front!

I hate acting neurotypical for the comfort of others, (I'm pretty bad at masking my neurodivergency tbh but anyway.) no more pretending! I'm going to be myself!!!
I finished an episode half an hour ago and there was a scene where Young woo was having really bad sensory overload to the point of crying and Jun-ho ran over to hug and comfort her like this had me crying omg girl im so sorry youre going through it. 😭
SPEAK ON IT JUN-HO, DONT LET THAT ASSHOLE BAD MOUTH YA GIRLIE LIKE THAT.

Ah, yes, babying narcissists and psychopaths is not only ableism, but is also "very much" like blaming *queerness* for a right-wing nut's behavior.
As an autistic, I don't think I wanna be lumped up with idiots who get off on hurting others for their own gain, then calling that "neurodivergency".

"no."

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
I hate my neurodivergency. I hate how it makes my live actively worse. I hate that it ruined another relationship. I hate that as soon as I found a good place for my mental health, I fucking ruined it by my incompetence and now will have to look for new home.
I just want to die.

Bow Down by I Prevail is goated. It makes me think about my neurodivergency. That, yknow, I can’t blend in like neurotypicals can. And I think that, if they had to live with a brain like mine for a day they would lose their own.

it doesnt help that official symptoms and diagnostic criteria have huge crossover we need further study and refinement. in the end knowing what parts of what you are feeling within YOUR brain are mental illness and neurodivergency and then kinda decide what umbrella/s it all falls under.

fwiw my mom's the same way. treats the prospect of neurodivergency (in either of her sons as much as herself) as a personal failure and shortcoming that we're either "too lazy or stupid" to work to overcome.
we largely don't speak anymore on account of it.

Granted that I don't understand all neurodivergency, but I don't understand what sensory overload, delayed social processing, and high IQ has to do with deficienct moral reasoning? Like unless she was raised by her social group to succeed at all costs or else be a barely tolerated pariah?

There is a shocking amount of “tying things together” too, like how some bags under the eyes and ridging on fingernails is indicative of atopic dermatitis. Or the arc of neurodivergency in the past 30ish years.

It’s always funny when people tell you to be respectful of their neurodivergency as they blatantly ignore yours.
Bonus points when you’ve got the same/similar thing going on.
