I CRACKED A CODE

Guys? Guys? I CRACKED A MOTHERFUCKING CODE

LISTEN

LET NEURODIVERGENT KIDS ACT DRUNK WHILE BEING DEAD SOBER THEY ARE ACTUALLY FACTUALLY STIMMING BY PRETENDING TO BE THE ONE WAY THEY'RE ALLOWED TO BE SILLY

!! Neurodivergent Kids Pretend To Be Drunk Because It's The One Way Were Allowed To Unmask

Please this makes so much sense holy shit

thinking about compiling a post about how DID/systemhood is also a developmental disorder but that statement already feels logical on its own like. Yeah experiencing severe, repeated trauma during your critical formative years is going to change the way your brain and body develop, that's why they're called Formative Years to begin with

I fucking hate self help or motivation posts that essentially boil down to "you just gotta do it! Do the thing that is holding you back!" cause like, that's the fucking problem, dude - I can't do the thing! I really, really want to do the thing, fuck, I've been wanting to do the thing for years now, but I CAN'T! Don't just tell me to do it anyway and call that help, like, give me the tools to do be able to do it! Or maybe just actually help me to do it with you! I dunno, some of us have got developmental disorders and mental illnesses or other disabilities, and you saying "you just gotta do the thing" is actually just a giant slap in the face, bro. Fuck!

you know what? I vote that instead of using 'neurodivergent' where we just mean adhd and autism we use the.. actual wording. we start calling them developmental disorders or developmental disabilities [which... is what they ARE] and perhaps even begin thinking about OTHER DDs such as NVLD or Downs .
