  • Neurodivergent people: Trying their best to fit into society

    You: Fuck those assholes.

    As someone who is neurodivergent and operates at an engineering level, when I’m under pressure I can sometimes be an asshole unintentionally. I try my best to recognize when I do this and apologize when I can. It’s not something I can help. It’s impulsive which means it’s hard to control.

    Here you are telling everyone that I am not deserving of compassion or understanding and should be written off as an asshole.

    Do you know what it’s like being neurodivergent? How people treat you when they find out? I now have to be on my best behavior at all times or I could get labeled an asshole and therefore deserve nothing according to you.

    Sometimes mental illness is like having a stab wound in your gut and you have to act like everything is fine. It’s not always possible in all situations.

    To say this post lacks awareness is an understatement.
