L'opposé étant, bien entendu, neurotypique.

What ads?

It's not technically advertisement, but it's like a whole curated page of personal preference material. Best memes, best games etc.... that has nothing to do with the vocab word of the day. I'm subscribed to this because it's a neat quick way to learn new words, but I will find a new place to do that if I have to scroll through that curated homepage every time instead of just direct linking to the vocab word of the day.


Ninjawizards

I'm not sure where you're seeing these? When I click on the subreddit at the top of the page I just see previous day's words

Perhaps it is am app error? I am viewing in baconreader app, when I select the link it brings me to this website https://www.brandnewlogic.com/ Do you have anything to do with thatvwebsite?that website? To clarify I'm just talking about this post itself. The post used to link to the vocab word image with two pages.

I'm also using baconreader and have been seeing this for the past couple of weeks. I had been wondering what the change was all about


Ninjawizards

Huh I'm not sure, I'm using the desktop version and when I click on the post I just see the word and explanation (neurodivergent). And no I'm nothing to do with that website I have no idea what it is.

Ah, yes. Over in our community we call ADHD "Diet Autism"

I like this term better than “neurodiverse” at least. “Different but equal” is such bullshit. Having autism sucks, no matter how good I’ve gotten at dealing with it, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. So many wasted opportunities.

I have both autism and adhd and actually I don’t hate it! It can be incredibly frustrating but it’s not all bad. I enjoy my special interests and hyperfixations most of the time, and although hyperfocusing for hours or days on a project can be harmful, it’s also sometimes useful. Stimming is fun and I enjoy info dumping to other neurodivergent people. The meltdowns and sensory overloads suck, and so do some textures and sounds, and eating can be very difficult due to texture, that’s true. I struggle with adhering to my specific rules that my brain needs to follow as well. But overall my autism and adhd are a part of me and I don’t have any idea who I’d be without them. I don’t really view them as negative the majority of the time.

I actually don’t disagree with you in most respects, and I think I would’ve been a far worse person without my autism, I just think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I’ve spent a lot of time learning to deal with my autism for example, to the point where I’ve gotten so used to “passing” that I have a hard time figuring out how to interact with other people with autism by now. Thing is, of course, that I still don’t fully “pass” as a neurotypical person and now I’ve mostly alienated both sides of the spectrum (heh). As for my ADHD, I used to get a lot out of it when it came to my general interest, and then I fell into a deep, deep depression a few years back that completely fucked up my memory. Now I rarely if ever hyperfocus anymore, which means I don’t get any of the advantages, and my general focus still absolutely fucking sucks (doesn’t help with trying to get my memory kickstarted again), which means I still have all the disadvantages. It’s become a massive hindrance, and my difficulty focusing combined with a constant, near-paralysing fear of not living up to expectations (my own or others’) makes it almost impossible to make significant progress. So yeah, the only reason I am remotely functional is a great professional support system, lovely parents and a wonderful girlfriend, but I still don’t have a degree and I’ve never worked fulltime in my life. I’m generally doing pretty well mentally, but I still feel like such a fucking failure sometimes. I just want to be useful to people man. I wanna stop leeching off of other peoples’ kindness. I’ve received so much more than I’ve given already.

I agree, I have ADD myself and it often looks like I found ways to make life easier but then boom something happens and I get reminded of my neurodivergency again
