What neurotypical wording??? 😭 This entire post is about what YOU don’t think is funny?? I’m not trying to rage bait or justify ableism, but with the context you’ve given this friend may very well have been someone with ADHD making a self deprecating ‘edgy’ joke. Your reaction to the point of blocking and posting this woe-be-me is premature and overblown and you’re getting yes-man’d. You’re tripping hard.
Idfk what was neurotypical abt your wording, but you should try to understand that this stuff is funny the same way that suicide jokes are funny BUT that this has widely accepted public background. Jokes about being beaten bcos of their disability should only rlly be made by people who have the disability. The implication of the post is that parents should beat their kids more and only snowflake children who “weren’t raised right” have adhd.
However ☝️a subversive one that I, as a child in a first-name basis with cps and as someone with adhd, would find hilarious: “[some set up abt how conservatives believe the points above] and I just keep wishing that my dad would’ve beat me just a liiiiittle bit more because life would be so much easier if he’d managed to rid me of my disability”
If it were were autism instead of ADHD references, I’d be agreeing in a heart beat but as it stands it’s a massive reach. But that’s also my point, we have no context here that the post made wasn’t a joke told in the same vein and just mistold/misunderstood. Without knowing more/following up, blocking a ‘friend of 12 years’ is crazy.
Bruh this is literally the neurodivergent sub. No one is here trying to take away our bitching privileges. We have literally no incentive to do so and all you’re doing is trying to accuse people of being a neurotypical as an insult. #5 and I are going to get downvoted to hell regardless and that’s just the nature of this sub but you seriously just need to get a grip.
You’re out here flexing a 40k car in response to getting called out for being childish and overplaying the ADHD victim card in an inappropriate manner - by people with ADHD who think it’s borderline disrespectful. If we go at lengths it’s only because you’re a spectacle of a human being.
ADHD is disabling for me too but the way OP is acting about it given their SPECIFIC context is INSANE and just disrespectful imo. And OPs been blind to the ableism they’ve been slanging around oh so willing to hang others for any perceived ableism. Which is insane, a massive personality defect, and reflects poorly on the entire community.
How is that an excuse, you said you have ADHD not autism. Your entire post is about how ableists always reveal themselves, i responded as someone with bad adhd and said you were way overplaying it but that I would have agreed if it were about autism - and then you defaulted to using autism as an insult…
How is 5’s behavior an excuse as well? How is your behavior an excuse? I think you should be going after 5 more than you should be me. You and 5 have been trying to tell me my diagnosis isn’t debilitating, you don’t know my symptoms, nor do you speak for those of us who struggle with executive dysfunction on a day to day basis. Now are you gonna stop or continue crying because I said it once, while 5 kept on and on or can I enjoy my Saturday and move on from yesterday?
I have NEVER said your ADHD diagnosis isn’t debilitating, i know just how debilitating it can be but you’ve shown reading comprehension issues from the start. If that weren’t the case you would’ve realized that I did call out 5 for using it, repeatedly. People discriminate against us but you’re acting like they’re as ableist towards us as they are towards things like autism. Nowhere near the same for you to be off the bat reacting the way you are, to then use autism as an insult.
You haven’t lived my life so you don’t speak for me, I experience just as much ableism and unconscious bias as you do bro. At my university and at work, it’s a constant uphill battle for my accommodations to be respected. A lot of autism traits overlap as well with inattentive adhd. It’s not always about hyperactivity and being distracted easily, just like autism isn’t always nonfunctional individuals who are non verbal.
9 is right. Kids get beat up and shunned by other kids for being autistic, no one is beating us up BECAUSE of ADHD. It’s not the same thing as having ADHD accommodations ignored which I’ve got first hand experience with. You experience ‘just as much ableism and bias’ as I do, and bidirectionally, I to you 😭 This sub is being nice to you, if you conflate the stigma and social stigma of autism and adhd in real life you WILL come off as a massive tool specifically to others with ADHD
I appreciate it I was starting to feel crazy out here. I don’t know how to explain it but as a minority in a few ways sometimes you see others in your group see another prototypical disenfranchised group get, for good reason, upset about something for specific reasons and react in a certain way. Then members of ‘my’ group will copy paste use it as a template on when, where, and how to respond or get upset without adapting it/taking into consideration our issues, relationship w the zeitgeist…
…even when it doesn’t apply to us specifically & we don’t have the same history/specific context of disenfranchisement that applied to the prototypical group. Which is not to say we aren’t disenfranchised or don’t have it hard, but just like we shouldn’t play the oppression Olympics we should be able to admit when others have it harder than us in certain ways & not lazily make a mockery of their plight when we have our own to deal with. It’s just not right even if ppl are too nice to call it out
