Let's check if Tumblr truly is a predominantly neurodivergent website.
Reblog for a bigger sample size + follow if you'd like to participate in more surveys :)

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

I don’t think that a lot of people know what ABA/masking “therapy” actually does to autistic children.
(ANALOGY) If you’re taking a pan out of a hot oven and it hurts your hand, you’ll scrunch your face up and go “ow!” But then someone else comes along and tells you to be quiet, and then force you to keep taking out and putting back in the pan, until you don’t react when you do it. It still hurts, of course, but you’ve been conditioned to not react whenever you are burned by the pan. You could’ve used an oven mitt or had someone else get the pan for you, or maybe just not have done it at all, but you were told for years what the “right way” to take the pan out was. And now you’ve built up callouses, and take the pan out the exact way you were trained to, unconsciously ignoring your pain. It still hurts, but you’re not supposed to do it another painless way, and instead continue to hurt, because it’s all you were taught to do.
ABA doesn’t make autistic kids’ lives easier, it makes the parents’ lives easier, because now they won’t have to listen to their child telling them that they’re in pain. Your child is upset and hurting, but it’s too “hard/stressful” for you to acknowledge and help them.
WE ARE NOT AN ANNOYANCE OR A BURDEN. WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN. WE ARE NOT A BROKEN PUZZLE THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER.
We are people, we have thoughts and feelings, and we feel pain. But we keep it bottled up inside because showing love and care for your child is apparently too “difficult” for you.
(EDIT)
Holy shit this post blew up real quickly

Does your walk of shame involve clearing all the cups and mugs off your desk and taking them to the sink to wash or are you neurotypical?
