GUYS NOT TO GATEKEEP BUT IF YOU'RE FROM TIKTOK PLEASE DON'T BASE WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE NEURODIVERGENT (literal different BRAIN) OFF ONE QUESTION ??? 😭😭

my parents use tiktok and according to them, something that's viral right now is the question "what does 7 and 2 have in common??" (which i noticed instantly ! i was asked that when i was assessed for autism) & i haven't seen the tiktoks myself, but based on how they acted, they made it seem like if you answer anything other than "they're numbers," you're autistic ????????

so now my mom thinks she's neurodivergent — which could be very possible! i am NOT trying to discredit that possibility knowing the underdiagnosis of autism & it IS suspicious that i'm the only one in my immediate family with diagnosed autism when it's a genetic thing

however, she called my sister neurotypical (Like Her Dad™) for not answering in a 💕neurodivergent way💕, which is harmful when we really can't know for sure (and she suspects she has adhd too 😭)

and said sumn like "but that's okay i'm just neurodivergent and that's okay! everyone thinks differently"

YOU CAN BE NEUROTYPICAL AND STILL HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHT PROCESSES FROM OTHER HUMANS THAT'S STILL POSSIBLE !! EVERYONE'S NOT EXACTLY THE SAME !!!! ONE question without any further research on neurodivergence & reflection is NOT gonna be a reliable way of telling whether or not you're neurodivergent !!!!

thank you psa over

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”

“Don’t let your disorder define you”

Okay but do you support the people whose disorders do define them?

Do you support people with the chronic illnesses who have had to develop whole lives around their conditions? Do you support the intellectually disabled people whose whole way of thinking is defined by their disorder? Do you support the people with personality disorders who literally have a disorder as a personality? Do you support the autism/ADHD people whose disorder you can’t separate from who they are? Do you support the DIDOSDD people who have multiple definitions of themselves because of their disorder?

Or are you just saying that because a disorder defining someone means you can’t ignore it.

Not many people talk about how deep emotional neglect hurts you.

I’m afraid to want things. I’m afraid to ask for help. I’m afraid to tell someone something if they seem in a bad mood. I can’t process when someone is nice to me. I can’t handle rejection, but my brain literally short circuits if someone gives me a compliment to the point where sometimes the rejection is better.

There are lots of overlap with emotional abuse, but emotional neglect hurts just as much. And it’s even worse that it usually goes undetected, so a lot of people can’t tell they’re being neglected until it’s too late.

It's very common for people to push those with demonised personality disorders to the end of their tether via manipulation, bullying, abuse, etc. and then get upset with them when they inevitably snap.

It happens a lot within the neurodivergent community, too! People spread lies about us, do things that purposely upset/trigger us and then when we start to get upset/stand up for ourselves/etc. it's "sEE??? we were right about them all along!!!!"

Neurodivergent reminder: Overstimulation feels a lot like anxiety, and understimulation feels a lot like depression.

More importantly, you don't need to know which it is to practice self-care.

Self-caring anxiety and overstimulation looks the same:

Recognize you're feeling big feelings

Take as many deep breaths as your need to slow your mind

Identify what’s causing the feeling, whether sensory, environmental, or situational

Minimize that cause as much as possible immediately

Self-caring depression and understimulation looks the same:

Recognize you’re in need of stimulation

Turn on an interesting long-form video of some kind

Do some quick exercise like a walk or jumping jacks

Call a friend that'll let you infodump

If you're neurodivergent and easily get stuck on labelling things — I see you.

I'm here to remind you that you don't need to know what it is to take care of it in the meantime.

You can — will — figure it out later.

also this is the last thing for now, but when I was first figuring this stuff out (pre-diagnosis), I googled "is it possible to have more than one personality disorder?" and found the answer to be "yes, but steer clear of someone who does!"

so I just wanted to say... if you have more than one personality disorder, you are still worthy of good things. you can still live a good life. you can still have strong connections to other people, and you can still learn to love yourself. having a personality disorder doesn't make you a bad person, and neither does having several personality disorders

me: i know they’re you’re friends and they’re really nice but that just makes them even scarier because i really want them to like me and would be genuinely devastated if they didn’t so it’s just easier to never engage with them and endlessly wish i was friends with them without ever risking being rejected by them even if that means i never actually get to be their friend. like sure, strangers are scary too, but they’re easier because i’m not super invested in whether they like me or not. the people i already like? those are the most terrifying people ever. you know what i mean?

my boyfriend, who doesn’t have avpd: no. no i do not know what you mean. that is literally the exact opposite of how my social anxiety works. i can’t even imagine how that would feel.

To those with demonised disorders who like to headcanon their favourites characters as having those disorders: you are valid. It does not make you or that character a bad person. You deserve to be able to project onto media/fiction that you relate to just like everyone else without people losing their shit over it.
