“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

i've seen so many iterations of this on tiktok. people saying "this tweet motivates me to get out of bed"
how?
"omg you people cant do anything"
i mean... yeah? that's kinda how executive dysfunction rolls?
is the tweet supposed to be insulting? and that motivates people to do shit out of spite? if that's so, i wish my adhd was so weak i was able to prove her wrong out of spite
is it something else? please explain, thank you
I can't really read it any other way, and looking at the comments under an Instagram repost of this, yeah, it seems like that sort of "bootstraps mentality" is more or less the intended meaning as it's taken by the people who share this picture. It's just gross, I can't stand that people like stuff like this.
I am mostly disgusted by someone having a printed out tweet hung on their wall. Like that is some real
shit
there are dril tweets i would consider
Dril tweet cross-stitch to go with my framed 9/11 fireball poster
dril quilt:
Yeah, and it's not even paper!
What's gross about one person finding motivation this way? Sometimes a kick in the ass gets me going, sometimes it doesn't. We're diverse people and find motivation in different ways. And the same person has a diversity of behaviors at different times.
I'm sure some of the commenters were assholes, but it's valuable to some people to be reminded that we can get so used to our feelings that we fall into the pattern of assuming they're insurmountable when that's not always true. It's not a failing if someone can't find motivation with a change of thinking, but it's wrong to deny that it can sometimes happen. The problem is thinking this is a magic fix for everyone.
most of them, including the original rt
i see your point (i don't relate at all, but i see it). it's just that, to me, it's just repeating something i know already, heavily implying i'm just faking it
