    Shit, that means I’m ableist…

    (Only toward myself, I’d never think of anyone else the way I think of myself, and yes I recognize the issue there)

      Same, friend, same. I internalized a lot of this, and it’s taken a while to work through just some of it.

    “Being neurotypical is the ideal way to be. Anyway I’ma go never talk about my feelings ever and be deathly afraid of living outside of societal norms lest I be phnished for it while contributing to that expectation by punishing you for doing it.”

    Being neurotypical, or whatever we’d call it if it was just another way of being, wouldn’t be so bad if the world wasn’t built to make sure they never have to question themselves/could safely question themselves.

      Are you saying that people with ADHD don’t have extra challenges when it comes to staying organized?
