Wow. I’m logging back in after a long time, like 2 years, and all my posts are gone. How do I get them back?

Strongly recommend finding/pirating a copy of More Attention Less Deficit by Ari Tuckman. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was like 8 or 9, back in the 90s where they just threw pills at you and forgot about you. Always felt like everyone else got issued a manual on how to be a person and I never got one growing up. This book felt like that goddamn manual, and it took finally seeking out an ADHD-specific therapist to point me to it.

Learning to understand your neurodivergence is key to dealing with it. I cried when I read about executive dysfunction for the first time. A thing I couldn’t articulate to other people, that seemed like made-up bullshit to them, was actually fucking real and scientifically valid. It reframed so much of my life.

What is Neurodivergence?

It’s ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we’re concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven’t personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you’re ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another’s, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who’s experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm’d.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input
