I gotta weigh in on that “weirdly antagonistic tone,” too. You literally said you’d list more but you doubted that person would read it? Just antagonistic all over.

You started it!

“I made fun of everyone.”

Did he make fun of Trump supporters? Or… white people in general?

Neurodivergent people getting cranky on the internet? Whaaaaaat?

But actually, getting into fights online is dopamine seeking behavior. So being nitpicky, cranky, pedantic nerds is kind of a symptom.

In Breath of the Wild, that’s how you get your hang glider. From an old man.

Me, two days ago. Got in so, so much trouble at work. Get home, oh. There’s my pill, on my desk.

The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.

Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.

My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)

Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?

I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!

I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.

I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.

This is why trust busting is supposed to exist.

I take stimulant medication for my crippling ADHD and while it’s in my system, I am suddenly aware of where I am, in relation to other things. I don’t run into things, I don’t trip on nothing.

When I’m at baseline, I have been known to tip over while standing.

This isn’t an ad for medication. There are massive drawbacks to it. It’s just a reiteration that this isn’t our fault. It’s not that we’re “clumsy.” It’s not that we’re stupid. In this case it isn’t even that we’re unobservant! It’s that neurologically typical people often “feel” where they are in relation to everything around them without trying.

We are fundamentally missing a sense of spacial relation, completely without a frame of reference to everything around us. That isn’t a flaw that we possess because of something we are doing “wrong,” or because we don’t try. And when I realized that, especially since I’m a woman (and grew up verbally brutalized over my unbecoming bruises), it made me angry.

It can also occur in folks with other neurodivergence but yes, there’s a legit reason why bruises are meme-worthy (and why I get my undies in a twist when people act like it’s not a legit symptom).

Lot of disinformation in the answers you got so I’m here to clear it up.

>Alterations to proprioception is a sensory characteristic that is inherent to ADHD symptomology.

>Proprioception is guided by receptors in the body that connect with the brain through the nervous system so that even without sight, a person knows what his or her body is doing.

Basically, for many people with ADHD, we aren’t so good at sensing where our bodies are in relation to the world around us. So it’s not abnormal to, say, run into doors when walking through them.

I’m pretty much perpetually covered in bruises.

I made an off-hand comment to someone recently about how they needed to remember that these fascists would make him the first against the wall, and he asked me what that meant… and I became so uncomfortable, realizing how sheltered he was.

I don’t understand how we got here. I don’t understand how people are so… unaware of how easy it is, and how close they are to danger.

In a move I’m going to regret forever, I’ll admit to the internet that I love being cuddle-fucked for literally as long as I can get it. (There’s a catch- has to be my boyfriend.)

More than an hour and about 15 minutes and we’ll probably need some lube, though.

Scream.

I want to be haunted by caring beings who remind me to eat.

This is why the baby stage is so fun and the teenage stage is so damn annoying.

JD, your username is also a woman’s name.

Our problem is we can’t remember the last place we used it. Executive dysfunction is definitely cruel.

You started with “no one is changing their mind,” and then went on to say there’s only leftists on this platform… so then why are you posting at all?

And yet, can still fuck the unlucky in a drug test.
