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!

i take adderall and it is my understanding that vyvanse is closest to that. i know adderall withdrawals suck like a mild cold and irritability. lasts a few days to about a week. so ide give it at least two weeks before you fully decide unless its absolutely miserable and the new medicine doesnt seem to work
I see, I'm going to stick with it like that and make a judgement in a week then. Thank you!
no problem. with all the adderall shortages ive unfortunately gone through that withdrawal a few times. it blows because you really feel like a massive cold is about to hit you. sharts like 2-3 days after last dose and last 4-7 days.
concerta is not quite the same type of stimulant as adderall and vyvanse but im sure it has its own withdrawal period.
i wish there was more readily available information about this stuff for medication takers, because its important. but if you search for "stimulant withdrawals" and stuff like that its very broad and mostly geared towards people with hardcore addiction to illicit drugs, which isn't quite the same for us who take this shit because we have to
