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!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed

I have seen the quoted take unironically upvoted here on Hexbear

I live in a one room apartment with 15 other masoists (white terrorists) who get very angry at me when I try to go to the bathroom alone.

I think this means you won communism.

Sounds like a cold ass take to me, claiming that any kind of recreative activity is counterrevolutionary is pretty unserious in the first place and yes, forcing people to be in a group when they don't want to is ableist

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Alot of people here have thinly veiled contempt for whatever is deemed "loser" behaviour

This is true.

Enjoying ANY activities is counterrevolutionary! Solitary or social! Sorry to ruin your TREATS!

It really seems like so many leftists, even on Hexbear, will give a take that is inadvertently reactionary because questioning if the logic of these takes can negatively impact marginalized people is often an afterthought.

This is nuclear like a microwave who thinks this. Community is important but community means a lot of different things to a lot of different people

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

if this is a nuclear take that is very concerning tbh

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I may have exaggerated a bit, but I've seen the sentiment upvoted on this site more than once.

The "go outside and touch grass with friends and family on new years instead of being on hexbear" struggle session we had a few years ago really sucked

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I've always understood the grass to be allegorical, but i'm not a hexbear literalist, i do have a lot of photos of myself touching grass ironically tho

[–] bunitor@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what a fuckass take (not yours, obviously)

i swear to god, i feel like this is a massive problem in leftist spaces in general. they seem to be mostly populated by sociable extroverts who operate on the subconscious belief that introverts or people who are not particularly socila (not just neurodivergent people) are wrong somehow, and so these spaces feel pretty hostile. i hope i'm wrong, but time and time again i keep seeing evidence of that

Whenever I try to do a little bit of solitary reading one of my comrades snatches the book out of my hand and calls a house story hour & read aloud sesh (AFTER the struggle sesh chastising me for reading alone)

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

there definitely prevails a disdain for loners, "losers" and friendless people in culture, that a lot of (especially neurotypical) leftists have not really done the work to overcome internally.

[–] insurgentrat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah man idk if we should be copying the behaviours of Japanese student cults that lead to them progressively murdering themselves off.

A lot of hexbear skews young, if there's a time in your life you'll enjoy making grand declarations and sweeping generalisations it's when young.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We're locking ourselves into a freezing cabin up some Japanese mountain and doing self crit hazing sessions
