i have ocd and i wish people would stop being like oh so you're a neat freak? no! im actually a very messy person! i just have these thoughts that i feel horrible aboutIt’s been a while since I’ve looked back at this thread, and it would seem we have some new people who have discovered this thread exists during my so-called “absence”. I welcome these users into our little community with open arms, and would like to help answer any questions you have as best as I can. I can’t promise I’ll have all the answers, though. :)
In an effort to encourage some discussion to keep this thread alive, I want to leave some discussion questions here for us to ponder. Please note that I’m not asking for anything specific and just want to let you have a chance to enjoy talking to the rest of our community:
- Have there ever been times when your special interests have helped you through a difficult time related to your diagnos(es)? What lessons did you learn from these?
- How do you feel your diagnos(es) influence yourself and/or your personality on a daily basis? Are these influences positive or negative?
- What kinds of things would you want other people to have a better understanding of regarding your diagnos(es) and/or your life situation?
enormous fact right here. i also have ocd and the intrusive thoughts are crippling and painful. the only thing im desperate about keeping neat and organized is my brain.i have ocd and i wish people would stop being like oh so you're a neat freak? no! im actually a very messy person! i just have these thoughts that i feel horrible about
learn something new every day!Today I learned that people with OCD aren't all neat freaks
stupid stereotypes
Even when I try not to I still fall for them
I guess in a similar vein, not all Autistic people are incredibly smart
I, for example, am painfully average at most everything I do
i was diagnosed with autism at age 3, and i seriously wish more people put that into consideration when interacting with me.

Because none of your posts spark discussion. This thread wasn't made for ND people to post "hi im autistic" and then leave. If you read the OP it's about discussing experiences and day to day life as an ND individual. If you are looking for more active discussion with/about ND people you'll want to look for a Discord server because that's not going to happen on a niche forum like this.my second post was about neurodivergency and got deleted :c

Personally every time I saw clips of it I wanted to punch a wall

reddit said:i personally don’t like the show, but a friend of mine has many of the same mannerisms as portrayed, which was pretty cool, but we both agreed on one thing about almost all autistic main character representation: there’s no connection to the autistic audience. it’s all to satisfy and try to compensate autistic behaviors and struggles to appeal to neurotypicals to make us seem less ‘alien’ to them. it’s what neurotypicals want autistics to be like, and it never sits right. for once, i don’t want to see a white male, socially awkward autistic genius that’s always depicted
This basicallyIt really does make the times I've had people tell me "wow, I didn't know you had autism" all the stranger to me. The menu options of responses to that one range from "fat fucking cap" to "thanks, I guess" to simply "bruh".
