i don’t give a fuck. you need to understand that if you are neurodivergent and act weird, people will interpret that in different ways. i’m a very quiet person which sometimes people interpret as rude. and that’s fine, i can only control my own actions, not others perceptions. so it’s up to me to decide if want to continue being quiet and interpreted as rude sometimes, or make an effort to be less quiet. so act however you want to act, but if you are a male acting out of the ordinary towards a female, don’t get all offended when some women interpret it as harassment or potential danger. and if being neurodivergent causes you to take actions that can be interpreted as harassing women and making them feel uncomfortable, you need to figure your shit out and fix it. i absolutely hate this mindset where you decide that your actions are entirely out of your control because you have fucking adhd or some shit, and then rather than trying to control your own actions, you try to micromanage other peoples responses. let me tell you something right now; there will never be a time or place when strange actions in public afford you the benefit of the doubt and good will from women. if you are being fucking weird, we have to get out of there, for safety. we don’t have the time and safety to pull out our magnifying glass and our houndstooth coat and launch a Sherlockian investigation into what potential neurodivergence, mental illness, drug use, impairment or genuine ill intent was the cause of your weird fucking actions. we just have to get out of there at the first weird sign. that’s life, people make assumptions because we aren’t mind readers and can’t know everything. you acted fucking weird so people thought you were fucking weird, boo hoo. either keep crying about it or work your shit out and fix it. you are responsible for your own actions and behaviors.
