Concept: Maybe\u00a0\u201cneurotypicals\u201d who consistently reblog post about autism and other mental disorders and illnesses because they relate to them actually aren\u2019t neurotypical, and just don\u2019t know it.<\/i><\/p>\n

Even the ones who say, \u201cBut everyone does this!\u201d might only be saying it because they<\/i>\u00a0do it, and therefore think everyone does, when that\u2019s not the reality.<\/p>\n

Like, I remember someone who very obviously had OCD saying,\u00a0\u201cEveryone gets constant, upsetting intrusive thoughts, and does things to make them go away! It\u2019s normal!\u201d and everyone who responded to them were like,\u00a0\u201cUh\u2026 No, it\u2019s really not. You have a mental illness.\u201d<\/p>\n

I hate how everyone is so quick to assume anyone who relates to their posts without having every aspect of their mental state listed on their blog is obviously an evil, appropriating neurotypical. Maybe they are technically neurotypical, but have one or two traits associated with whatever form of neurodivergence. Maybe they\u2019re neurodivergent and just don\u2019t feel like listing it. Maybe they think they\u2019re neurotypical, and are in the process of realising that they actually aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t be so quick to judge. This gatekeeping helps no one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is an extremely important point.<\/p>\n

I know at least one trans person who didn\u2019t realize they were trans until they were talking about how much they relate to trans things. Only, it was in the context of being dismissive of trans people. \u201cOh, sure, of course<\/em> you prefer those pronouns. Everyone does.\u201d But that wasn\u2019t a cis person being dismissive of trans experiences; it was a trans person not understanding that they were trans.<\/p>\n

Same thing with a lot of mental illness stuff.<\/p>\n

Honestly, if you relate to an experience, you have the experience<\/em>. Doesn\u2019t matter whether you have it for the same reason someone else does.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On a similar note that I was thinking about recently: perhaps some neurodivergent people who are dismissed by their parents have neurodivergent parents<\/i>\u00a0who don\u2019t know it. Like, if your mom says\u00a0\u201ceveryone has that\u201d when you tell her about your depression, there\u2019s a decent chance that she\u2019s not minimizing you, she just has depression herself<\/i>\u00a0and doesn\u2019t realize it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
