"oh but talking with people is so easy and emotionally rewarding!" well maybe your brain comes equipped with "ability to read social cues" and "automatic supply of appropriate responses". I have to do that shit manually and let me tell you, not only is that more exhausting, it also gives space to a lot more fuckups for which I have to clean up the mess afterwards

since we're on that autism tip again today I also want to add something I don't see brought up either in the literature or in civilian conversation about autism much which is this: both autistic and non-autistic people benefit very much from knowing and interacting with each other. each group (and all other neurotypes) have strengths that the other does not and cannot even conceive of learning. this is the narrative basis for so many fictional stories about buddies or groups of people achieving things and we see the principle repeated over and over in media of all types but it's hard for us to apply those principles to our IRL experiences for some reason. if you don't have people around who can perceive things you can't, you're going to miss out on so much. I'm proud of my friends' various specialties and I brag about them. whatever it is, we have a guy for that.

Well I want to be honest, my mental health hasn’t been the best the past few months. I’ve been really struggling to the point of crying about several different things and it’s not anyone’s fault. Maybe my situation irl is affecting how I feel online, and it sucks because everyone is so nice and kind but I feel like I don’t belong? Idk how to explain it. It’s a very awful feeling and I’m recovering from several traumatic things I thought I’d gotten over but they keep resurfacing, I think I need to organize my feelings and stop overthinking, but I wanted to explain myself too. I’ll be unfollowing several people and you’re free to unfollow me too 💖🙏 y’all have been nothing but wonderful and a source of inspiration but I need to work on myself ;v;)b
I wish everyone a very lovely evening tbh UwU you’re all the best, bless you 💖

if Garten of Banban has better queer rep than your story with openly queer characters I think you have a problem with your story

Non-ADHD and non-autistic disabled people whose only idea of ADHD and autistic people is shaped by media depictions of a nerdy white boy or a quirky goth girl with low support needs: "Yeah ADHD and autism are destigmatized and we should ignore people with ADHD and autism in favor of real disabilities. I am very smart and progressive."
Lateral prejudice towards other disabled people will get us nowhere.

Sometimes I'm glad that I DON'T have ADHD as a comorbidity because I'd have to block SO many more bullshit takes and unnecessary discourse then 😵
