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!

Sounds like it’s speeding up the process that social media kicked off with Anglo countries becoming increasingly more American. I’ve noticed it more here with people who consume a lot of Anglo media. Everything from their mannerisms to way of speaking becomes noticeably more American, even applying American stereotypes of our culture to themselves.
That is so fucking grim. The rot of American cultural hegemony has already so thoroughly infected so much of the globe. To know that it's not just getting worse but accelerating, killing even faster any actual culture the world over, it really drives me into a doomer emotional state.
It’s not as bad in non-Anglo countries although you do notice it from people who consume a lot of Anglo media.
Other countries have their own sphere of cultural influence in their respective linguistic spheres. I think Brazil is in a similar position with how its social media heavily influences the Portuguese speaking world. In Guatemala we’re more influenced by Mexico and Spain with how dominant they are on social media.
But the Anglo world is definitely becoming increasingly American with the US being as dominant and omnipotent as it is. The EU is also heavily Americanized but they’re a bit of a special case.
