most annoying thing i’ve been seeing online lately is ppl in the adhd/autistic communities posting benign relatable posts and being inundated with comments from neurotypicals being like ummm everyone does that and you’re literally promoting harmful self diagnosis :// stop acting like everything is a symptom and it takes all my power not to tell them to shut the fuck up because not everything is about you, is the audhd community not allowed to make funny relatable posts without you insufferable cuntbags assuming the worst and reading shit into it that was never meant to be there

#unless a post is saying ‘doing this thing means you are definitely neurodivergent’ then 9 times out of 10 it’s not meant to be a fucking #diagnostic tool and anyone with a brain should be able to tell that it’s not #funny relatable posts DID help me figure out im neurodivergent after years of suffering on my own but they weren’t the only tool #incredibly funny because isn’t straightforward language like a hallmark autism thing too.#like if it was meant to be a diagnostic post it would Fucking Say That #don’t pretend that’s what it says because you’re an ableist dbag who’s scared of ppl understanding and accepting themselves #don’t pretend to have well meaning concerns when ur rly just afraid of having to accept that being nd is way more common than you thought #‘stop trying to diagnose everyone’ directed at the most benign relatable/educational posts has the same energy to me as #the fucking ‘the queers are trying to convert ur children’ rhetoric #what’s that? are you afraid of people (even young people) gaining a better understanding of themselves and accepting and celebrating who—#they are?#are you afraid of accepting that people know themselves better than you think you know them?#these types of ‘well meaning concerns’ are what made me suffer in silence and prevented me from getting a diagnosis for years 👍#anyway. angry post because this shit makes me so mad #mental health #neurodivergent #audhd #speaketh
