dear people with OCD: the next time you have spiraling & intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, or catastrophizing scenarios, I am sending a cardigan-wearing 46-year old NYU professor directly into your brain and he says "Aaaaand scene!!!" and he claps his hands slowly. and he says "Wow. Wow. Powerful stuff. Evocative imagery. A little bit post-modern, a little bit hysterical realism in the vein of Don Delilo but let's pause right here." and you will recognize your thoughts as a perplexing avant-garde film shown to an audience of 15 liberal arts students who are now trying to get a good grade and sleep with their professor.

The true reason I've been obsessed with Nerdy Prudes Must Die is because you can tell from the pro shot that Mariah is so obviously a neurodivergent performer and she is still playing the popular attractive character and that's truly all I want for the neurodivergent performers in the world. The theatre world truly needs more queer neurodivergent attractive popular lead characters, fight me!

the neurodivergent experience is thinking you’re sharing fun, interesting or helpful information in a normal human conversational fashion while they think you’re an asshole lecturing them or looking down at them like they’re stupid and also that no matter how many times you have this experience you always think you’re doing it the right way this time

Are people aware that symptoms to disabilities and mental illnesses and stuff dont start when you get diagnosed? That symptoms exist before seeing a doctor? That expecting people to be 100% abled unless they have that diagnosis is incredibly fucked up? If someone is saying there’s something up with them, dont just shrug off until they have a doctors diagnosis, that shits ableist.

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!
