fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents
the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.
the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations
the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily
the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.
you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.
feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙
since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:
People with Down syndrome
People with Fragile X
People with William’s syndrome
People with dyslexia
People with dyspraxia
People with dyscalculia
People with dysgraphia
People with Prader-Willi syndrome
People with PANS or PANDAS
People with aphasia
People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses
People with cerebral palsy
People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero
And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)
You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.
I love you all ❤️

Got some accessibility feedback for the creators of my nervous system:
"Tired" feels way too much like "depressed," leads to insomnia and chronic fatigue. Needs tweaking so these two signals are more distinct for players with sensory processing disorder.
Similarly, "hungry" feels too much like "enraged," please adjust so bystanders don't wind up getting shouted at.
"Thirsty" is straight-up too weak and not obvious enough. I'd recommend reworking this one from the ground up. Thirst is a critical mechanic, even more than hunger, and it NEEDS to be obvious at all times or the player will be constantly debuffed without knowing why.
Background volume of the world is simply too loud, leading to confusion (unable to distinguish important foreground sounds from background ambience) and ear pain. Ideally you should have built it from the ground up with the levels in mind, but even just having separate volume sliders for different types of sound would go a long way to alleviating this.
Bones itch. I have no idea how to fix this one but please investigate.

Sensory issues are the worst because everything SHOULD be fine, but no, the way my hair grows from the follicles in my scalp feel terrible right now

shoutout to all the neurodivergent people who have been told by neurotypicals “but it’s not even that bright” or “it’s not even that loud in here”

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.

I personally prefer headphones, though I have earplugs (Loop Engage and Quiet). I use the engage in situations where I still need to talk but it's still loud, but they are kind of annoying because they increase the volume of my voice in my head lol (still better than absolutely nothing though). I use the Quiets either under my headphones for extra noise reduction or instead of my headphones when I can't wear them for whatever reason. I have the Sony 1000-Xm4 headphones which I highly recommend, though they're really expensive so if you want to get them I recommend waiting for them to go on sale like I did.

Autistic culture is loathing automatic public toilets and/or automatic hand dryers with your entire being

Listen if you have sensory weirdness or just love being cozy I cannot recommend enough buying two (2) body pillows and sleeping between them like a subway sandwich.
