(note: neurodivergent means your brain "diverges" from the average brain and it may function in a different way)

Drama in the wild

It means you have a mental disorder.

and it's not always bad
autistic people are great problem solvers
ADHD people can do tasks crazy fast and with great accuracy
OCD people are great at remembering details and keeping a routine
i can go on and on
i have seen your posts, Non_Wholesome_Danny
I know what you are
I am going to punch you with optimism

woah watch out we got an anime protagonist over here

there's always a backside to that coin, and it tends to outweigh the good parts. Saying "neurodivergence" and just "oh they're just different" is objectively wrong. There are issues that need to be fixed as soon as we as a society develop the means to fix them.

i don't wanna be fixed
sure, there are cons, but they're a part of me. I can find ways around them without removing the pros
it's not always easy, but it's better than ableism and discrimination

So it means you're autistic

it can,
it's more of an umbrella term for those who's brain's might not be the same as everyone else's, which can have pros and cons
pro for autism: great problem solver
con for autism: sometimes can't pick up on the emotions of others, depending on how high or low functioning they are

is autism a neurodivergence

ye

so a mental disorder

which isn't always bad

mostly bad

just like you

also like you, humans are mostly bad

Agreed

Did Honu message you about making another rule about ableism too?

No

At least not yet

Oh 👁️👁️ nvm then

What were you gonna say tho

I was just going to ask if you think we should add the rule but Honu hasn't even messaged me back yet so I should stfu 😶

And no
No we shouldn't
It's just gonna get a shit ton of people complaining about it

Like the no homophobia rule did

Technically we still have a no homophobia rule so I think people would just overall ignore it lmao

Yeah that too

I agree

neurodivergence is cringe and evil wholesomedanny is right

can the ableists in the comments here just shut the f**k up for one second?

Ableism isn't a thing. It's an understanding that "neurodivergence" is a problem, and being proud of mental disorders is like being happy you've been shot. I meet the definition of neurodivergence. I have ADHD, and have been diagnosed. And I am willing to say that identifying with it to establish that you are different does nobody any good.

you're literally proving ableism's existence right now
i would rather be proud of the way i am than hate myself for it

Saying "Hey, i have a disorder" and giving it a positive name is a tool to separate you from others. What you call ableism, I call awareness. Being aware that you have a problem is the first step to overcoming it, and whining about people saying you're not capable of certain things is not awareness. It's blissful stupidity, the mindset of "i am what i am" taken too far. You're a great person, but creating a fictional divide in the public consciousness, creating a problem of what is solving one, is not that great.

i'm not saying i'm better or worse than a neurotypical person
also, most disorders are hard to live with due to the un-inclusive society we live in
most schools won't put in the effort to give neurodivergent kids the same opportunities that they give neurotypical kids

did you just unironically say we live in a society

to paraphrase a very small part of what i just said
yes
