Autism? ADHD? Both? QOTT1: What's the worst thing about being neurodivergent?QOTT2: What's the best thing about being neurodivergent?Previous thread: >>43354505
why does everyone self diagnose themselves with autism and bipolar but nobody seems to do it for narcissistic personality disorder?
>>43410191>QOTT1: What's the worst thing about being neurodivergent?Neurotypicals!>QOTT2: What's the best thing about being neurodivergent?Hyperfocus!
>>43410207Because autism and bipolar seem to be popularly associated with intelligence. But anyone who self-diagnoses should honestly get brick'd
>>43410207you're 5D chessing me right now aren't you
>>43410191qott1 i cant make any friends :( at all.. wish i wasnt so lonely qott2 lower expectations i guess
>>43410249>i cant make any friends :( at all.. wish i wasnt so lonelySame. But my psychologist says all younger people are lonely right now so idk maybe it's normal
>>43410207>why does everyone self diagnose themselves with autismBecause getting an actual assessment as an adult who's suffered your whole life and probably has really complicated feelings about an official diagnosis is nightmarishly hard and punishingly expensive if it's even available at all.>and bipolarBecause people need to explain what's wrong with them and this is the one they've heard of.>but nobody seems to do it for narcissistic personality disorder?The spate of self-diagnosis of personality disorders has risen to astrology in the 80s levels of retardation so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>>43410251they arent probably or at least not lonely like me
wow... its like were the only ones with special brains... aristocrats in a sea of NT cattle... waow...>>43410271okay loser

>>43410286sorry for being a loser...
>>43410308It's okay, just don't do it again.
>>43410315will be hard
>>43410227>autism ... seem to be popularly associated with intelligence. The reason SD Autism is associated with intelligence is because a high-IQ literally masks autism in early childhood, especially amongst girls. The child is hitting neurodevelopmental marks and is responding to social pressure by rapidly learning to mask. >But anyone who self-diagnoses should honestly get brick'dThis attitude is keeping a lot of undiagnosed people with autism in cycles of perpetual suffering and away from the help they need. Late diagnosed autistics have even worse employment and suicide statistics than repressed trans women (which are really fucking bad). The fact that you see a huge spike in autism diagnoses for people under the age of 25 today isn't because the zoomers all got the vaxx, it's because prior to 2015 unless you were L3 they just didn't bother getting you assessed and use discipline and humiliation to treat the problem, again exacerbating the high-masking problem which inevitably leads to autists burning out. What we're seeing right now is the backlog of people who've had it their whole lives sticking their hands up and saying "can I get an assessment, because my whole life has been unreasonably hard" and generally being told no.
>>43410308Maybe you should just own it? That's what I do personally, I recommend
>>43410328
>>43410354truth cambrian explosion
>>43410354Uhm, no sweetie. It's because of the vaxx. The Democracts engineered the pandemic so that the public wouldn't find out about FRAZZLED.rip
>>43410191>QOTT1: What's the worst thing about being neurodivergent?Crashing from masking, and autistic burnout, never truly fitting in>QOTT2: What's the best thing about being neurodivergent?Retaining child like joy and wonder, special interests.
>>43410191I have tourettessssss and Im diagnosed with adhd but I don't think thats reallllllll
>>43410191>QOTT1: What's the worst thing about being neurodivergent?Living, I think daily about kms QOTT2: What's the best thing about being neurodivergent?Umm nothing, I’m nearly I’m dumb, I speak like a retard with a lisp, I can’t be around people because I’m too scared and nervous, I’m 35 and I can’t maintain healthy friendships because I get worried that people hate me because I suck and I’m depressed and it’s annoying to talk to somebody who is sad so I stop responding and shut down I don’t sleep I took waaay too many pills this morning by mistake I hate that I’m too retarded to function but not enough to get help so I have to work EVERY SINGLE DAY, I’ve bit down hard enough in my mouth that I’ve broken a tooth and cut off part of my inside cheek meat because of night terrors that i can’t get help for, why did I have to be this much of a waste of life, why couldn’t I be normal and I couldn’t ever be physically normal my insides are snakes and I could never help or carry on for my family because of being a freak. I guess the good part is that I’m a big joke of existence so maybe somebody else can laugh
>>43410446Aww sweetiepie, I'm sorry life is so hard for you right. It's not great for me either. Please continue trying to get help tho. Just keep asking and scratching at the system and talking about what you're going through to whoever will listen until someone points you in the right direction. There are people who care, they just don't know how to find you, you have to find them or at least put up some signal flares.
>>43410423Tourettes would suck hairy dog balls. This probably doesn't make you feel any better but I actually tell myself that at least I don't have that to make me feel better. You have all of my sympathy. Have you seen picrel? How much did it resonate?
>>43410356what does that even mean, how
>>43410493You just need to develop healthy copes & rationalizations, is what I'm saying. Let's say someone calls you a loser. Why would you debate that or apologize? It's nice being a loser, because at least you're not a conformist normalfaggot stuck in a system that hates them. Let's say someone makes fun of your weird interests. You are, of course, superior to them, because it's fair to assume that they spend their time consuming nothing but goyslop. Works for most things really, and you always get to put on your smug anime face in the end. That's the best way I can explain it.
>>43410482>I actually tell myself that at least I don't have that to make me feel better.looool. I've only seen the trailer of that movie. My tics aren't as severe as his, and my vocal tics are mostly just grunting/moaning. The only bad part is when I do it so much that I lose oxygen and start panicking because of it. There's also some behavioral symptoms that apparently go along with tourettes like intermittent rage which I unfortunately relate to
>>43410227bitch really? self diagnosing is not nearly that bad, it's only 'bad' to filter incompetent bozos. there's nothing special about most shrinks and most of them do shit jobs anways, i've seen far more than i need to know that. besides you know the autistic savant thing is in the most demeaning way possible right? autism does not have a good reputation>>43410211nevermind you're just under 18. adult only site sorry
>>43410390summer hitting early damn. oldest /lgbt/ poster>>43410354I agree with most of your points but i seriously, seriously doubt> Late diagnosed autistics have even worse employment and suicide statistics than repressed trans women (which are really fucking bad).i'd strongly recommend you to not take statistics at face value because most people are worthless at interpreting them
>>43410708>summer hitting early damn. oldest /lgbt/ posterAAAAAAA I'M NOT A SUMMERFAG IVE BEEN ON 4CHAN FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS I REMEMBER BUTTERFAG ON /LIT/ I REMEMBER DEGEN I REMEMBER MOOT I REMEMBER NEET CAVES ON R9K DON'T ACCUSE ME OF SUCH THINGS AAAAAA YOU'RE JUST A DEMOCRAT YOURE JUST PAID FOR BY PFIZER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>43410759This message brought to you by addnon>>43410677>nevermind you're just under 18. adult only site sorryI fucking wish anon I'm almost 29 :[
>>43410677And besides, self-diagnosing is difficult because it's just really hard to judge what's actually going on without someone looking in from the outside. I agree that most psychiatrists & psychologists aren't very good but in that case, you need to find another one.
>>43410470>you have to find them or at least put up some signal flaresI think some know, like coworkers, maybe, I haven’t had a melt down at work in like 4 years but that’s when I couldn’t stop sobbing and I had to take over a week off and just laid in bed and cried, but i keep masking because well I have to :/ sorry for the prior explosion mornings are rough when you wake up to realize what your life is and have to cope for the day ahead >>43410765Just wait till your 30’s lol
