Lost my job because of autistic meltdown? Nope. It was the heirarchy thing.

I have had so many communication issues, and being that I spent most of my life as an entrepreneur, this whole "don't speak to the boss like an equal" is just another in the long line of social faux pas that I make because I don't understand the unspoken language of the allistic world. And this cost me my job. This is apparently EXTREMELY COMMON for autistic and neurodivergent people. The video I'm referring to that I watched: https://www.tiktok.com/@csmijango/video/7037149653892222255 And here's the video where I talk more about the "hierarchy thing": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2zW3S5M3ro If you like this video please like and subscribe, thank you for your support!! #autism #adhd #audhd #neurospicy #neurodivergent #socialanxiety

I read a book called Good Intentions Aren't Good Enough that basically went over all this.

It helped, I think. It's been years since I read it.

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!
