okay i’m going to formulate this in a way that’s easy to grasp, but if you are neurodivergent with judgement, reasoning issues, etc., please don’t get into arguments where you don’t know what’s actually happening. if you don’t get it, ask. there’s nothing wrong with asking.
i’m saying this not as someone who has those issues personally, but as someone who has a brother like this. he sticks by his guns even when he doesn’t actually know what’s going on. we have to repeatedly tell him what’s actually happening before he gets it and moves on.
he’s my brother and i love him and i have the patience for him. y’all? not really. there are things some of y’all involve yourselves in that you don’t actually understand but have the loudest opinions and statements on. and ofc it doesn’t end pretty that way, does it?
i’m saying this part as someone who’s dealt with people standing by their misunderstood and ignorant stances, only to duck out with a “but i’m mentally ill/neurodivergent, how dare you correct me” or “please have pity on me”. i will not have pity and i correct you bc im mad.
i’m mad that it’s gotten to the point where people essentially use their life problems as a crutch to get out of having something explained to them multiple times by multiple people, only to choice one that was “nice” and then call everyone else bullies. it’s a weird card to pull
so for the love of god, don’t act like people are ableist for telling you you’re wrong and don’t act like neurodivergency is an escape rope. you don’t need to have statements on everything, especially things you don’t know. you can just ask a question.
