Me when looking for neurodivergent representation in fiction:
Tumblr media
Also me when I come across "all neurodivergent people do X" posts/videos/etc.:
Tumblr media
When I tell you, this shit is infuriating...

Fuck it, adding my tags from my initial post and first reblog here, because it's worth saying outright.
Initial post:
#neurodivergent#neurodiversity#my life#don't get me wrong I'm GLAD that there are better representations of autism and adhd than there used to be#but I HATE when I'm looking for representations of NOT JUST THOSE TWO TYPES#and that's ALL I GET IN RETURN#I want some fucking HSP rep!#I want some allistic hyperlexia rep! (though I doubt that's happening any time soon)#I want more dysgeographic rep! (it barely exists! I can think of one canon!character off the top of my head!)#I want well done CPTSD rep!#I want decent rep of neurotypes I don't even have and I want it all to be acknowledged as neurodivergent!#Hell- Green Lantern Jessica Cruz should be recommended as neurodivergent rep because of her anxiety!#but because of the obnoxious bs of people acting like 'neurodivergent = ONLY autism/adhd' she'll never come up!#it's infuriating!!!#uuuuugggggghhhhhhhh
First self-reblog:
#self reblog#neurodivergent#neurodiversity#my life#additional thought to add to my earlier tag rambling:#I hate how a lot of people are acting like 'neurodivergent' is the 'polite' way to refer to autism and adhd#because 1) there's nothing shameful about either! There is no blow there that needs to be softened!#and 2) because of people's euphemistic bullshit and being afraid to say autism or adhd because they think it's 'impolite'#they're obscuring and erasing the fact that humanity is A LOT more complex#than just allistic autistic and adhd#Neurodivergent is an umbrella term for fuck's sake!#It should be treated as the umbrella term it is!#Instead of just as a 'polite' euphemism for only two types of neurodivergence!#I feel like I want to chew through a godsdamned cement wall
