Damn, so you're saying you're not neuro diverse? Maybe don't comment on their lived experiences then since you don't actually know what it's like.
You didn't make an observation, you accused OP of self pity.
well why don't you try to mAkE aN oBsErvAtIoN that this is a space for us to talk to each other and commiserate and your tone policing bullshit is not fucking welcome. i feel sorry for the ND people around you having to put up with this bullshit in person.
try listening to us about shit instead of MakInG oBsERvAtIoNs like we're god damn animals you hateful shitbird.
