Let's check if Tumblr truly is a predominantly neurodivergent website.

ok. imma do this again because im so sick of this neurotypical label-centric world we live in and the inability that people have to understand individuality, masking, and nuance in presentation of disorders.
edit: this is not meant to exclude all the various neurodivergence diagnoses other than just adhd and autism- this poll was created first and foremost because i was curious about those two in particular, but also because there's not that many button options for the poll itself and if i added more than those variables the permutations would skyrocket

[ID: Mastodon post by [email protected] "Autistic authors writing neurotypical characters: "They were the kind of person who read between the lines without even knowing the lines were there. A natural smile played on the face of their un-headphoned head, and they functioned executively down the stairs."]

what i've learned thus far in my life is if a neurodivergent person has a personality they're annoying. but also if a neurodivergent person doesnt have a personality they're annoying. if a neurodivergent person acts how people want them to they're annoying. and if a neurodivergent person doesnt act how people want them to... they're annoying. basically, i've learned that as long as you're neurodivergent somebody will take issue with you, find you annoying, say you're too much or not enough.

if being neurotypical was described like how people describe autism
fixated on specific words, body language, and tone over the actual message
take things that others do personally
unpassionate
process information and patterns slowly
empathetic only to their close ones
overly concerned with conforming to societal norms

Maybe instead of complaining about the ADHD and ASD diagnosis rates, we need to make peace with the idea that “Neurodiversity” may actually, in fact, describe the majority of human beings because “Neurotypical” is a word that really only describes those who thrive in a capitalist society, which is very, very few individuals.

There's been a lot of talk about the relationship between neurodiversity and gender identity, but what about neurodiversity and sexuality?
Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

Love when you can clearly tell an autism event was organised by a neurotypical person. Like my doctor's invited me to an autism drop in thing and I had to do an hour of fuckin research to find the contact details for who organised it because the only info they included about the event was the date, time and place. Like??? You didn't think to be more specific??? Give more details to the autistic people you're inviting?? Didn't even tell me what the fuckin thing was for Jesus Christ

learning you're neurodivergent later on your life after growing up being treated as a neurotypical is a constant state of "oh so am I not [stupid/slow/lazy/useless/dumb/broken], I'm just neurodivergent and need to do things differently" followed by a wave of anger and frustration for not having been told that. for not having been reassured, as a kid, that you're none of those awful things you think about yourself, you're just different. anger for having been left to believe that there was something wrong with you.
this rant doesn't actually have a point. I'm just angry that I've been told -I'm still being told- that I'm just lazy and dumb when I actually have add and I'm on the spectrum.

You know what is just mind boggling? Neurotypical people exist. Like there are people who can just DO things and not have depression, anxiety (in every form ever), RSD, sensory overloads, and not get overwhelmed. Like there are people who can work for eight hours every day and still do things after. People who can make phone calls with no struggle. Who aren't constantly bombarded by a cacophony of thoughts both good and bad when they do things. Who have anxiety but it isn't crippling. who can spend hours, WEEKS with people and not get tired or fear that everyone there hates you. People who have no idea what Depression or intense trauma feel like. People who hear instructions and do it right first go. People who can follow a conversation without zoning out, or having to mask.
Like. Do neurotypical people actually exist?
Because I can't even imagine what it would be like to be neurotypical. Or mentally healthy. Both sound alien and foren. But like. Obviously they exist because neurodivergent people wouldn't struggle so much if not for how the world was structured for Neurotypical people but I don't know if I've ever met a neurotypical.
idk. food for thought I guess.
