Had the most stereotyped ADHD moment this morning.

Neurodivergence doesn't have a look.

Black people can be neurodivergent.

Latine people can be neurodivergent.

Women can be neurodivergent.

Gay people can be neurodivergent.

Trans people can be neurodivergent.

Physically disabled people can be neurodivergent.

Anyone can be neurodivergent.

i don't really care if people like sonics characterization in sonic prime or not but it does bother me a little seeing people call him stupid annoying etc in like a hateful way.. because the moments that get him called that are moments that made me go Oh he has adhd :) and then i go online and see a bunch of people go Wowww he's such a fucking idiot. What a dumbass. Literally the most annoying character ever written. and im just like. ohhh ok . i see how it is then

#how come the sonic fandom labels sonic as like an adhd icon or whatever #but as soon as he starts actually acting like he has adhd beyond the stereotypical haha funny hyperactive hedgehog stuff #then they get mad and call him annoying #is it perhaps because you dont actually like adhd/autistic people . #and you can only tolerate us when we're showing the funny/quirky symptoms and nothing else

PSA

-OCD is not a synonym for neat or preoccupied with tidiness. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is all about distressing intrusive thoughts and rituals (compulsions) used to combat those thoughts.

-Intrusive thoughts are not synonymous with silly things I want to do. They're deeply upsetting, often taboo mental apparitions. Letting them win is the last thing anyone wants, and nobody is immoral for having them. (See 'impulsive thoughts' if you need a term.)

-Anorexic is not a synonym for thin or emaciated. The majority of anorexic people have OSFED atypical anorexia – that is, their BMI is above 18.5. You cannot judge the severity of someone's illness by their appearance. (If you're worried about someone, look out more for rapid weight loss than thinness, even when it's occurring in someone in a larger body. 10kg in 10 weeks is never a good thing.)

-Eating disorders are not synonymous with just anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia is an ED, but it's nowhere near the most common. Bulimia is an ED, but again, not the most common. Together, they do not constitute the most common. The most common ED is binge-eating disorder, and the second most common is atypical anorexia, which is one of many, many OSFED categories. Those living with ARFID, pica, night-eating syndrome, rumination disorder, subthreshold BN, subthreshold BED, and orthorexia all deserve dignity, compassion, and acknowledgement. Remember: EDs are not necessarily thin, and never glamorous.

-Schizophrenic is not a synonym of all over the place, abnormal, unpredictable, dangerous, or crazy. Nor is schizoid or schizotypal. Folks with schizophrenia spectrum disorders live with hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thoughts/behaviour, and/or catatonia. They are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators, and go to huge lengths to act okay even when distressed by symptoms.

-Schizophrenic is also not a synonym of multiple personalities/volatile. For the disorder involving having different facets of personality that are generally unaware of each other, see Dissociative Identity Disorder, and even then, don't assume it's a) dramatic as it is in the movies; b) evil; or c) trivial. DID is a trauma disorder.

-Delusional is not a synonym of wrong. Nor is it the same as this politician/friend is saying something I do not like/that is potentially dangerous. Delusions are false, fixed beliefs held despite evidence. And generally, folks with delusions don't tend to proselytise them. I know that certain politicians have beliefs that seem to persist in the face of evidence, but nevertheless, we don't need to stigmatise mental illness further to call out poor political/social behaviour. If you need a word for the pundit spewing potentially dangerous content, use 'dangerous' or 'wrong', but don't call them delusional.

-Bipolar is not a synonym of all over the place or fluctuating results. Bipolar disorder involves mood states that, even in the rapid cycling form, tend to last at least 3-4 days (mania) and weeks (depression). If you need a word for the weather, use 'British' instead.

-Psychotic is not a synonym of evil. Psychosis is losing touch with reality, whether it be through hallucinations or delusions. It doesn't make a person bad or violent. It's just a neurological phenomenon that may be distressing. It's also relatively common: 6-15% of people will hallucinate in their lifetime.

-ADHD is not a synonym of just quirky/scattered/forgetful/unfocussed/lazy/careless. ADHD is fundamentally a disorder of being able to choose where to direct attention, rather than of just I can't focus. If someone can't tune out the noise of the crowd, but can't prevent themself focussing on something trivial because their brain is wired that way, it's not laziness or just being quirky/scattered.

-Autistic meltdown is not a synonym of temper tantrum.

-Borderline is not a synonym of harridan.

-Narcissist is not a synonym of abuser.

-Mentally ill is not a synonym of volatile or bad person. This doesn't mean we have to make something artificially positive out of mental disorders. If there is good to be found in certain disorders, great; if there is nothing positive about living with certain others, that doesn't make you any less real or resilient than anyone else. It's okay to have complex feelings about your own disorders. It's okay to feel exhausted or frustrated by a disorder. But never should anyone have to face stigma.

the true lumity dynamic is just

(luz is the btw and amity is the tbh)

#eliot posts #toh #the owl house #lumity #luz noceda #luz is practically confirmed adhd #and amity is so so autistic to me even if it wasn't done on purpose #the stimming. special interests. missing social cues. taking metaphors literally. using social scripts/repeating others' phrasings #she is autistic your honour #some chud once told me i was ''reinforcing harmful stereotypes'' abt autistic ppl by saying she was autistic #because ''i'm autistic and i don't do those things!'' #like shut up not everyone's autism looks the same and just cuz you don't have certain symptoms doesn't mean they aren't real #i'm still annoyed

Forever torn between "Gallifreyans are aliens and thus may have different neurological pathways and you cannot define them by human diagnoses because they are alien."

And also "In November 1963 Susan Foreman was introduced with 25 minutes of PURE autism and her grandfather has not beaten the neurodivergant allegations for 60 years"

#doctor who #classic doctor who #susan foreman #one day i'll make a post/video of Susan being Stereotypically Autistic in unearthly child #but yes anyway #i'm always like but is he REALLY whenever i see posts saying the doctor is adhd or autistic or something else #because he's an ALIEN #but also. he is all of the above

Sometimes I can spend hours thinking about how a lot of gay stereotypes (fast walking, weird sitting, struggling with numbers, weird fashion, etc.) are just symptoms of neurodivergence, because neurodivergent people are more likely to be open about their sexualities due to not giving a fuck about social norms and have accidentally shaped straight people’s perception of gay people by just being rad as fuck.

for any of you who are the stereotype of your community - i just want you to know that it’s okay, and you are not perpetuating stereotypes in any way shape or form. you are simply existing and living your own life. don’t feel bad for being you !! <3333

hi soni

there was that article on my dash today that i cant be bothered to find because im on a writing break but was about how millennials trail behind boomers in terms of wealth (obviously) but the disparity in wealth amongst millennials is way worse than it ever was between boomers. then the rpf thing. and i thought about generic theories about how it's obviously way easier to either/or a) narrativise, idolise, mythologise, b) be a nasty little freak about someone in the specific way rpf tends to do if you're more disconnected from them. i think there's two threads here that are like. 1) social media and Platformisation and Commodification and other -Ations of Identity Performance have transformed more and more aspects of life into opportunities to like. make yourself someone to celebritise. even as "relatability" and "authenticity" are pushed as concepts you're still selling yourself as a narrative and concept that feels like a smaller jump to do rpf theorising about than your actual friends. Like. How rpf is very prevalent in industries that rely on full-coverage PR narratives anyway . 2) wealth disparity exacerbates the disconnect in actual living reality and spaces between these two groups of those being rpfd and those doing rpf. both in terms of the other point (psychologically / subconsciously (?) it feels easier to theorise these people) and more directly in terms of like. Rage sentiment towards the rich. "pete wentz can go look at his bank account to feel better" mindset. You know. I guess the endpoint extreme of this thought is like "rpf probably went Crazyz hard in extreme wealth disparity like with Emperors" and it totally did. In its way. but that adds a further point that this is only true within a certain comfortable-enough modern middle class who due to ? technology ? is largely freed from like. gruelling physical labour taking up all their day. and is instead left with a hollow lack of options for genuine engagement and entertainment within the calcified cultural spaces that capitalism leaves you. am i going anywhere with this. i meant to add line breaks but nowhere felt right

#hey everybody i'm now on medication to restart my stopped metabolism and im a walking adhd stereotype again .I get an mri tomorrow. hold m #Hold my hand

I don't know what it is, but Vox is so ADHD + autism, Velvette is so ADHD + autism, and Valentino is ADHD (+ a personality disorder of some sorts)

They're just a group of neurodivergents

THEYRE SUCH A GROUP OF NEURODIVERGENTS . being in the vees has a few requirements;

be an overlord

be influential

your name has to start with a V

you have to be neurodivergent

you have to have adhd

#xanbox #hazbin hotel #the vees #vox #valentino #velvette #i feel like vox and vel are a little more silly in the head than just adhd + autism . maybe a secret third thing? #val too val has a secret third thing #i dont ever wanna be insulting with neurodivergent stuff tho so i dont wanna make any hcs for it based on surface level stuff (fears- #-accidentally using stereotypes) BUT IF YALL HAVE IDEAS? THROW THEM AT ME #...once i open asks up again ofc

[dontcallmeeds]
