that pathologizing/humanizing post and all the discourse surrounding it is driving me batty if i never see it again it'll be too soon. post block time
#like listen. there is value in translating your symptoms for people who don't have your disorders#there is value in saying 'hey i'm feeling overwhelmed right now' vs 'hey i'm having a sensory overload'#most people understand 'overwhelmed' even if they have never heard of sensory issues#there is value in saying 'i had a knee jerk reaction and felt attacked and overwhelmed and thats why i snapped at you' vs 'i have rsd'#most people understand feeling attacked and angry and upset even if they have never heard of rsd#however i do not think 'humanizing' is the correct word for the act of making that translation#and i dont think its necessarily pathologizing to say 'i had sensory overload' or 'that was emotional dysregulation'#thats just using precise words for things. sort of nd jargon u know#which isnt the simplest way to explain to like. a layperson#and as for the idea that we should apologize rather than explaining our symptoms...like. yeah dude. it is possible to do both#you can take responsibility for snapping at someone and explain why you did in the same breath. it's just easier again if u translate#anyway. fuck that post and its rebuttals. im tired
