Neurodivergence
A community to unite neurodivergent people.
A common problem for neurodivergent people is being bullied and ostracized, not only by neurotypical people but also their fellow neurodiverse humans.
Sentences like "I'm glad I only have ADHD, not autism" or vice versa is very detrimental to our collective benefit. Therefore we believe that we should abolish any oppressive/stigmatizing language against other neurodivergent people.
Disclaimer: This is a nonviolent community and we don't want anyone dumping on other people, period. Be it neurotypicals/allistics, etc. We accept the occasional joke (like "allism, a common disease") to highlight the absurdity of pathologizing neurodivergence.
Our rules are vague because bad actors will circumvent clear cut rules just barely and grind the edge.
The rules
- No abusive language
- Stay on topic (no politics or religion)
- No slurs (including the R word)
- No isms (including but not limited to: Ageism, Racism, Apologism etc)
- No Advertising for profit (ND resources are ok if non profit)
Further rules will follow when deemed necessary.

Damn. Thats a rough ride and it shows how young this stuff is from a medical standpoint. Kids nowadays sometimes get diagnosed very early.
Do you have anything to share with people who are thinking about getting assessment? Some dont know if it would help them in any way.
