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!

this is the reason I haven't personally gotten involved in local politics, even though I live in a deeply blue part of Ohio. that shit is scary, I grew up around those people, they fucking terrify me and I am not popular enough to feel safe in this small town culture
any suggestions for posts of yours to read to learn about how this all went down for you?
I think this book would be very popular; I know my spouse would love to read it.
one of the things I hate most about this alleged individualistic, bootstraps society is how fucking hard they make it for a person to go it alone – the obscure administrative requirements are a huge hurdle for most people.
your journey sounds relatable af, I really hope you write that book. ❤️
This was very kind of you to say. I'm not sure when this particular book will ever be finished. Maybe if I ever escape blue collar work, and return to the bullshit of white collar work? Steve Salaita actually already has a great book about this called An Honest Living that's on libgen. I guess I'll also have to include a chapter in my own book about my abortive political career.
