    Yeah I’m very very glad I’m “just” ADHD. When I was diagnosed it wasn’t possible to be diagnosed as autistic and ADHD. They didn’t fully change that until I was well an adult. I was more ADHD as a kid so, ADHD it was.

    I didn’t realize until I was middle aged that I’m probably level 1 and on the spectrum as well as ADHD.

    So, it’s like you said, maybe a blessing in disguise. I just don’t want all my brethren and all of my sisters who did get diagnosed to face a horrible fate.

    Us neurodivergent need to stick together. Justice for all.

      💯

      Here’s hoping nerodivergents can band together and rise in the shadows to create systems that are far better than what society currently offers, and outcompete to such a degree that the corporations atrophy and die.

      First they came for the socialists immigrants, and I did not speak out, because I was not an socialist immigrant. <-- WE ARE HERE

      Then they came for the ~~tradeunionists~~ transgendered people, and I did not speak out, because I was not a ~~tradeunionist~~ transgendered person.

Then they came for the ~~Jews~~ neurodivergent, and I did not speak out—because I was not ~~a Jew~~ neurodivergent.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
