I am not negating the *actual lived experiences* of late diagnosed people – but I wish they would take a minute to stop negating our very abusive experiences. People really do not understand the realities of being diagnosed as a child and facing the abusive fall out from that.

Folks talk about "oh I was seen as the weird kid being undiagnosed." & We were seen as the weird *special needs* kids which comes with much more abuse. No supports, no fair treatment, mocked, abused, excluded & exhiled. There was 0 understanding from anyone. Including medical.

"Well at least I'd have understood myself better" No, being diagnosed as a kid no one explained it to you. Even if they did, a child couldn't comprehend the complexity. As an adult you have understanding of the diagnosis. As a kid we were even more confused plus facing abuse.

I see a rise in newly diagnosed neurodivergent adults saying they wish they were diagnosed as a kid because then everything would be better. Completely negating the experience of life-long diagnosed folks who have CPTSD from the abuse that came with it. The grass isn't greener.

@crispniqab I’m very educated about strange niche topics! Some people don’t care, but the right people think it’s fun and attractive.

Date ppl who are gentle with you bc love is ethical before it is emotional. That part gets skipped a lot. Attraction & chemistry can be loud but even trauma has chemistry too.

@pemilo123 I got a lot better at small talk once I started thinking of it like a game and learned the “rules” of how it works!

I think my biggest neurodivergent tell is that I'm visibly uncomfortable during small talk, yet totally at peace when someone starts oversharing the weirdest shit I've ever heard.
