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
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!

i've seen so many iterations of this on tiktok. people saying "this tweet motivates me to get out of bed"
how?
"omg you people cant do anything"
i mean... yeah? that's kinda how executive dysfunction rolls?
is the tweet supposed to be insulting? and that motivates people to do shit out of spite? if that's so, i wish my adhd was so weak i was able to prove her wrong out of spite
is it something else? please explain, thank you

I can't really read it any other way, and looking at the comments under an Instagram repost of this, yeah, it seems like that sort of "bootstraps mentality" is more or less the intended meaning as it's taken by the people who share this picture. It's just gross, I can't stand that people like stuff like this.
I am mostly disgusted by someone having a printed out tweet hung on their wall. Like that is some real 
shit
there are dril tweets i would consider
Dril tweet cross-stitch to go with my framed 9/11 fireball poster
dril quilt:
drilt
Yeah, and it's not even paper!
I think the original tweet was just a lighthearted self-deprecating joke and the retweeter took it way too seriously. it seems the meme is saying that this Very Online interaction has motivated them to touch grass, but I find it ironic because hanging a tweet on your wall is pretty antithetical to touching grass imo 
Sounds like you pretty much have it.
original tweet is opening a conversation about how halloween costumes affect people with ADHD
The quote tweet is insulting the original tweet.
the tiktok poster, presumably someone with ADHD, who presumably has some agreement with the quote tweet, has put the banner on their wall so that it will "motivate them to get out of bed in the morning" lest they get (figuratively) insulted by the quote-tweeter (who they agree with).
My two cents is that I have ADHD and I have no idea why I’m apparently supposed to be stressed out by Halloween costumes. I love halloween
Halloween is the bees knees. I get to wear my special interest and I get rewarded with candy for it? Sign me the fuck up.
Ive got a count orlock looking coat and just go out looking like a spooky guy
I just wear my cowboy outfit and paint a skull on my face.
I think it's supposed to be interpreted as upsetting, so you do stuff out of spite. As you said.
In this scenario I don't think it's spite as much as a sort of modern rendition of "this too shall pass". Like a reminder to not overthink it
"There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn"
I think it's important to note that is is a twitter interaction, so both parties are most likely the worst people alive (even before Elon). The original poster seems to want to start a discussion about an entirely optional activity (wearing a costume on halloween), the retweeter has lumped all people with ADHD together and suggesting they are all complaining about what the retweeter sees as a completely non-issue. Suggesting that the retweeter thinks that ADHD people are paralyzed by absolutely anything. People saying it's their motivation are motivated by not wanting to be one of those ND people.
I think the first person actually wanted to say something like "my ADHD is making it so hard to pick a Halloween costume this year," but they're so twitter-poisoned that they have to turn it into a universal experience, assume the existence of an existing discourse around that experience, and imply a societal failing.
Yes, this too. The whole interaction is broken from top to bottom.
the retweeter thinks that ADHD people are paralyzed by absolutely anything. People saying it's their motivation are motivated by not wanting to be one of those ND people.
makes sense
but it's kinda out of our control, though, isn't it? we can try our best to do shit, but sometimes we can't do shit, and that will be it. beating ourselves up over it does nothing to help. in my case, simply accepting that sometimes i won't be able to do shit is actually what helped me the most
Absolutely. Far be it from me to tell someone how to motivate themselves, but the whole thing is really toxic.
I have literally used this tweet to get out of bed and do party work/ apply to jobs/ hang out with friends/ follow through on commitments to my partner. i don't see "you people" as being all people with adhd, but a particular type of person with adhd whom i work hard not to be like. people who infantilize themselves into nothing, and are awful to be around, usually white people who actively make being around them difficult.
and like im someone who has a breakdown a few times a month because i hate my brain, and i have to wake up 2-3 hours early for everything so i can leave the house in time.
What is the issue for ADHD people and Halloween costumes? Is it figuring out what to wear? The actual wearing? Seeing everyone in the costumes walking around?
planning
As a neurodivergent I learnt to not give a fuck an do the shit. But decide clearly what is the shit I want to do. I understand the voices bashing you for failure are still there but you have to do it. The anxiety of not meeting the expectations are always there but still I do the shit. If you give in you're going nowhere. If it's too crippling you need medication or a change in it. I'm not saying I don't have my low days but if you give in is only low days for sure. Fuck is tiring but still... Now I should be cleaning the kitchen instead of being here you see...
