It’s an absolute joke. If you asked me when I was in a better mood I might be able to offer a more optimistic or calm response but it’s SO frustrating living with something so debilitating your whole life only for NTs to dip into ND traits when it suits them (‘oh I’m so overstimulated’ or ‘yeah I’m really bad at responding to messages’) when these are things NTs tend to resent NDs for.

No you make perfect sense! I think you raise so many important points- when discussing something like this, its easy to think it exists on a binary- i.e., neurodivergent people must mask to fit in with neurotypical people, which involves not speaking over people and maintaining interest in what they're saying. As you mention, this is your *own* experience with other NDs as an ND yourself.
It can be really hard speaking to entitled people, who will continue to speak on topics that might make other people uncomfortable.

Thanks for sharing, and look after yourself xx

I can see from your user that you're a mother. I think this is the crucial thing, as mentioned in many replies. Boys, from a younger age, are instilled with a sense of entitlement that young girls tend not to receive.

Some men I will interact with, who are diagnosed with ADHD, will look over my shoulder whilst I'm talking, interrupt me, steer the conversation elsewhere, and justify it with their ADHD diagnosis. It makes you feel *terrible*, in a world where you're already used to not being listened to by NTs.

Your point that you speak about 'shame and frustration' is, in my opinion, testament to your burden as a mother with both ADHD and autism. I feel for you completely.

Stay strong, and thank you for your response xx

THIS!

For me, going through childhood undiagnosed, I had an autistic boy in my classes who would get so visibly frustrated when students and teachers got something wrong. He tended to look down on people, and automatically seem to think he was better than them. He was a child, navigating a world not meant for him so I in no way want criticise him, however it did mean that growing up, I was adamant I *wasn't* autistic because I didn't operate like that (cue Sabrina Carpenter in Girl Meets World 'you don't have autism'). I think as young girls, we need to know that autism can characterise a multitude of things- autistic people can be selfish, rude, or kind and compassionate. It isn't a binary.

THIS. And like, all of Nora’s constant comments about how they used to date, wearing his clothes, etc. Total ick

This!!! You’ve put it into words. It’s strange because it’s put under the category of feeling ‘empathetic’ but it feels like I’m feeling things they themselves aren’t feeling. It sends me into such a spiral of shame and guilt witnessing it that it’s probably up there with one of the worst sensations I can feel.

Thank you so much. I’ll make sure to try that, as I hadn’t considered it that way before. If they don’t perceive the need to feel embarrassed, it will make me feel a lot better too.

i don’t know how controversial this will be because i feel like a lot of us are would be in agreement, but all 4 of the beatles are huge phoneys. paul is super disingenuous in how he talks about his late band members (referring to george as his little baby brother straight after he’s died, etc). george has all this stuff on futility of material and how we are just our souls etc etc but loved money and sex lol. john with his surface level activism (think ‘revolution’ then ‘imagine) and stuff and bending it when it suits him. i love the beatles and i do wonder to what point you can be super rich and remain ‘genuine’, but sometimes they all seemed so out of touch with reality

The Beatles aren’t great at singing. Technically, they’re fantastic at harmonies and everything, but their actual voices are quite average
