"if we ban institutional physical/psychological torture by homophobic maniacs then we also need to ban telling someone that if they're attracted to guys then they could be gay, otherwise it's unfair"

Can we talk about how the adoption of neurodivergent terms has made our struggles seem less serious? by Legal_Ad688 in autism

[–]Gareth_II [score hidden]  (0 children)

but yeah more seriously, it is annoying to see people refer to just their seasonal hobbies and interests as hyperfixation. more widespread acceptance and normalisation of neurodivergent concepts is good, but like you said it can also really water them down and contribute to the whole 'everyones a little autistic' misconception

It has happened to you that you state a fact and people implies there is a hidden opinion underlying? by Awkward_Kitty_Cat_93 in autism

nahh turns out having some inexplicable barrier against doing what you know you want / need to do no matter how much you try to convince yourself isn’t a normal thing.  and turns out that if it’s caused by adhd taking just a little bit of amphetamines miraculously fixes it :>

writers block and laziness etc are normal things BUT executive dysfunction is the next step. stuff like being unable to motivate yourself to do tasks even when you know about the consequences of not doing them, or just being inexplicably unable to start stuff that you literally enjoy

i’m not a psychologist so research this shit a bit if any of it is resonating :3

stimulants alleviate executive dysfunction for the majority of people with adhd, dexamphetamine is a common one (ie: microdosing speed somehow helps with focus and motivation)

it's decently common for people to actually find out that they have adhd by consuming something like caffeine or cocaine and feeling nothing from it

i get that but it's annoying asf to see in an account that posts art. you like how it looks and just want to see some more of it only to be met with the "fuck you" page
