idk it’s just shocking to me every time i see someone else’s V and they’re just… beautiful? like that tik tok kind of flawless. And to some extent that makes sense in the Looks Are Everything pathos of Night City, but conventional attractiveness(or maybe typical beauty?) has never been something the genre particularly cared for

that’s always been part of why the queer community identified with cyberpunk in particular. a world where you can look however you want, and where atypicallity has become uneventful. Snowcrash’s Street is my go to example, but that’s not exactly one-to-one with Night City

and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a video game as someone you think is beautiful, and my V is a bit of a looker herself. i’m not dunking or anything. i’m just surprised sometimes is all

To the ADHD anon-I have ADHD and autism and dyscalculia and OCD and Tourette’s and anxiety and depression and Dyspraxia and few others. My ADHD gives me the most grief in day to day. It is absolutely possible to be neurodivergent in more than one way and if you’re not comfortable with your diagnosis, I would push for another. I was diagnosed with something totally wrong (and probably non-existent because before I’ve never heard of it since) before I was diagnosed with the above.

whoa, that’s quite a constellation of issues.

Nonetheless an excellent example of how clinicians and patients need to be wary of diagnostic overshadowing.

Diagnostic overshadowing is a technical term that refers to situations where a more overarching clinical phenomena can act to obscure or overshadow other issues that are more subtle but still in need of addressing.

For instance, it is quite common for individuals dealing with ADHD to also cope with comorbid troubles with anxiety and/or depression. Less mindful clinicians may overlook this, attributing the anxious and depressed symptoms as merely part of the ADHD.

I feel that diagnostic overshadowing is especially prevalent in the neuroatypical community. If an individual is identified as, say, autistic... it becomes more likely that troubles with depression, anxiety or even psychosis will be disregarded as merely a facet of autism and not an issue unto itself requiring specific treatments.

It’s getting better as clinicians become more savvy toward neuro-atypicallity as a whole, but there is still progress that needs to be made. As such patients and their family are left needing to advocate for themselves to insure significant symptoms are not overlooked or discarded.
