Found the thread in my neurodivergent FB group and had to come to Twitter to find it so I could share this REAL TALK. As someone who doesn't know how to do un-real talk well, tiptoeing around white folks fragilities 'diplomatically' while also respecting yoursel feels impossible. https://twitter.com/polotek/status/1353902811868618758

As a neurodivergent person I struggle with structures & systems within my own culture too, which has its own horrific tendency of brushing thing under the rug. How would caste oppression, patriarchy & more survive otherwise? Yt folks do this too
Exposures to multiple forms of dismissive, silencing cultures & navigating them both at the same time as a frustratingly open and blunt person sucks. I am often feeling terrible about not following talking decorums & 'feeling rude' for speaking my truths. https://twitter.com/polotek/status/1353905317663281153?s=20
Reacting to difficult conversations & what they consider 'confrontations' their response can be to ignore, dismiss, neglect, or be dishonest about their sentiments, & then lash out at vocal POC with fragile personal attacks rather than having respectable discussions. Anyone else?
