A really hard part of growing up neurodivergent is constantly having intentions assigned to your behaviors
Like if you never learned [abitrary "friendly" social convention] then you're "trying to be rude" or if you find yourself unable to do [task that neurotypicals consider easy] then you're "not trying hard enough" or "don't really care"
or if you want to be alone because you've gotten overwhelmed by a conflict you're "giving the silent treatment" and "being passive agressive"
The best part is that if you deny any of these, the neurotypicals will tell you you're lying to protect your ego
I keep getting retweet notifs and I gotta say, the amount of people who find this relatable is both comforting and disheartening. Y'all deserve so much better.
