#idk im simply glad when neurodivergence gets acknowledged but not infantilised

I like that Maxwell includes his adhd in the character of MJF, for his background but also for his reasoning, cause for so long has the ugly side of my neurodivergence make me relate to the insecure selfish choices of heels. I always felt stupid though for reading characters through such a lense, “its not that deep” etc etc, and now we have someone who openly talks about how fucked up RSD can make you feel.

“but isn’t that bad rep? / Are you using your disability to excuse shitty behaviour??” – Knowing that you aren’t alone with these negative symptoms can be so relieving. I’m all for more people knowing about the kinda shit we go through in our heads, also understanding bad behaviour doesn’t mean condoning.
