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!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed

I specifically try to keep the language neutral too. I know other ND users dont post because they're afraid of being accused of sealioning or catching a temp ban. I don't know where else to post this but I needed to vent and I'm sick of it.

Edit: thank you carcosa. Appreciated.

I restored and ask the mod team to use the hexbear code of conduct for removals. I am going to lock this as the specific action you referenced has been resolved

The wikipedia link reason lol nerd

Yeah, wish the person who linked me had read the article themselves. But just like how disagreeing is bigoted or reactionary, asking questions is sealioning. Arguing for myself like I do now is debate pervertry, and swearing is hostile. And this whole thing is in bad faith. Except if I am one of the mods special little guys of course

God I wish that was me. Looks so peaceful. I saw a seal recently. I was out swimming and it was just there. They're beautiful.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

I am however very bothered because "sealioning" isn't something I can do anything about. If I ask "how ma I sealioning" or "why do you think I am doing this with bad intentions" or "I really am not sealioning " then that's just further proof I am sealioning. Extremely distressing. Somehow that's okay but wrecker jacketing isn't.
