What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

MODERATORS
Pointing at people can be considered rude, especially if it's just individuals going about their business. My understanding is that this rudeness is because it can make the people you're pointing at feel self-conscious. However, if it's people engaging in an activity (e.g. clown making balloon animals, a bunch of people drawing on the sidewalk with chalk together, skateboarders doing cool tricks, etc) then IMO it's not typically rude; there's less of an implication of judgement and more of an acknowledgment that the activity is out-of-the-ordinary.
Pointing at things definitely isn't rude at all. You're not going to make the awesome ACAB graffiti self-conscious.
If your mother's the sort of person who doesn't like having attention called to her, or if she seems like she'd take being pointed at in public to mean "someone thinks I'm doing something wrong" or "did I sit in wet paint? or spill on my shirt?" it could just be her feeling extra sensitive on behalf of the people being pointed at.
