FELLOW NEURODIVERGENT PEEPS

Do you struggle to make new friends? I feel like it's hard enough to make friends in your 30s but doing it when you're also ND is so draining. And as soon as you show the neurodivergence they slowly seem to distance themselves? I tend to automatically blame myself with the, "Did I come on too… (edited) read more

We don't lack responsibility, we lack adulthood.

We live in soft times. Not because we lack information, nor because we lack words, but because everything possible has been done to avoid one single thing: being an adult. Today, no one fails. Today, no one makes mistakes. Today, no one causes harm. Today, everything is explained. I’m late because… read more

Do you guys think there's a correlation between polyamory and neurodivergence?

Feelings

It's such a mindfuck to realise that something you treated as a problem that you're meant to continuously squash using willpower your whole life is just a natural part of you. First I had that with neurodivergence and now... just the fact that I have more emotions than my mind was conditioned to… read more

Neurodivergence

I'm wondering how others feel about this. I personally see it as a positive quality if a prospective partner is neurodivergent or autistic. My experience is that autistic people often tend to recognise things as they really are. I appreciate that. I also don't mind it if a prospective partner is… read more

Atypical Thinking

I've always had a soft spot for people who think a little differently; some of my closest friends have been neurospicy. I've had my own struggles with depression and migraines over the years, so I understand how heavy things can get. I'm glad society is becoming more open about mental health and… (edited) read more

Any other INFJ's have autism and/or ADHD like me?

Living w/ Neurodivergence

What are some of your self care coping skills?

We did it ⭐

I know I've been having a hard time lately, so I'm sure others in the community have too. So much can feel even harder for those of us with neurodivergence, but we're still here. We made it through another day. We keep trying. I'm proud of us for being here despite it all. 💜

Neurodivergent folk

Do you connect with any who are non-neurodivergent (like really connect)? Or do you tend to only connect with other neurodiverse folk? Do you feel like claiming neurodiversity is aiding in identity, or limits yourself? If you are neurodiverse, and claim vocabulary to it, what type of… read more

How does one make and maintain friendships?

While I would say that I "have friends" I often question myself on that assertion. I recently turned 25 and my close friend group is the same group I made in high school, circa the tenth grade. I love my friends, but every now and then I wonder if this is what friendship really is. I've never had… read more
