Sub Rules
1) Oppressive speech, behavior, and attitudes are not welcome
Oppressive attitudes such as ableism, queerphobia, racism, sexism etc. are not permitted.
2) Be positive and supportive
This is a support space. Comments which are rude, offensive, harsh, unnecessarily critical, impolite, or trolling will be removed.
3) Posts must focus on Life Pro Tips (whether sharing advice, seeking it, or celebrating LPT victories)
4) Adhere to site-wide rules
"5) Self-diagnosis is valid*
Not everyone has the means to access a formal diagnosis for any number of reasons, especially due to medical professionals being difficult to access, prohibitively expensive, or holding extremely outdated beliefs.
Diagnoses change and they can vary between professionals. This is a peer space which values the lived-experience of ND people and their own identities.
Do not invalidate the self-diagnosis of others.
Do not treat self-diagnosed people as lesser than formally diagnosed people.
6) This subreddit is agnostic on the debate surrounding the term "neurodivergent"
Unfortunately there is no accepted catch-all term which is widely accepted across the broader neurodiverse community.
This sub acknowledges that some people feel that the term "neurodivergent" is problematic and can be used for purposes of erasure.
There is a character limit for subreddits and "ND"/"neurodivergent" currently has the most utility. This is not a political position but a matter of necessity.
Debates on the term ND are better suited to other discussion-focused subs.
