A lot of this "Neuro divergent" stuff kids make memes about these days is actually just a normal human experience.
Reminder that being gay, a woman with opinions, or a slave who wanted freedom, all used to be mental illnesses as well. What is and isn't a mental illness largely depends on social norms.
You are comparing people making memes about feeling slightly bothered because of a small inconvenience with some of the biggest human rights fights.
I'm not gonna ... ๐
You do know mentally (and physically) "ill/disabled" are and have always been the next in line, right?
And yes, it's largely things that are actually pretty normal and human in and of themselves. Just not normal enough.
Jesus Christ.
I'm not attacking you or saying you're wrong for how you see things. Sometimes the memes are just a way to communicate and normalize human existence. Social bias is social bias no matter who it's against, why it's against them, or to what degree. It's a slippery slope to considering others to be worth less for the ways that they are.
I think the key thing there that tips off they weren't really illnesses/disabilities was that those caused other people issues and discomfort, not the people "suffering" from them.
Indeed, however it might be dialed up to like 300% of neurotypicals and literally damaging your body.
So yes, some things are relatable or the typical 'ah yes I have that sometimes' but in absolute unrelatable overdrive.
And trilializing traits under which people are suffering can sometimes be really discouraging or worsening depression.
Sure, but I'm not standing next to a group of miserable "neurodivergent" kids, pointing and laughing, but dissing a meme that maybe 100 people will see and even that only because it's got comments under it (because 3 people got offended by my comment).
This whole thing should be a meme about how eger people are to get offended even if there is nothing there. Maybe it's because Lemmy is so small, so there isn't that much to get that fix from. Something worth while to think about.
have you considered that maybe if 3 different people "get offended" by your comment, it might be cause you're an asshole and expressing your views in a really dick-ish way and invalidating a whole group of people? Food for thought, maybe do some introspection
Seconded.
No, I don't usually go consider absurdities under dumb meme posts. I'm sure people that make those are very fragile people, but without criticism, how will they grow. More food for thought.
But lets step out of this funny little exchange of ours. I think it's great what the topic is. It can't be more irrelevant and pointless than this I think. Like any other month Python sketch, it's best when it's short so it ends before it gets tedious. So, bye, good luck, have a great day.
Classic, not thinking something through before posting a dismissive comment. Lots of things are a normal part of existence, but quantity matters.
It's normal for people to cry, but if you're crying all the time and it's keeping you from living your life, there is something else going on.
It's normal for everyone to have to take a shit suddenly sometimes, but if it's happening so often you have to plan your life around it, there is something else going on, and if you're shiting yourself to death, you might have dysentery.
I'm not saying I agree with all the stuff that the kids these days are saying about neurodivergence, but I am saying that you show a remarkable lack of critical thinking and ability to contextualize.
I'm saying you are bored and didn't find anything to trigger you, so you went way way out of your way to get offended by what I wrote, then went in with an insult to try to get this thing going.
You get a smile out of me. ๐ Be well, take care, bye.
Yeah we are all bored, that's why we are posting comments on Lemmy.
I wish you a pleasant mental problem that you're dismissive of
You wish me a mental problem...
That's weird, but ok. This one in OP Lol? That's not really anything close to being one.
Take it easy and have a wonderful day. Bye.
Being scared of rejection is an inherently human reaction to desire. Famously explored constantly in media throughout history. Bitterness is borne on the back of rejection. Joy comes briefly on acceptance. The anxiety of indecision supplies either motivation or a hopeless mire.
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
Normal people are more comfortable to be with others than to be by themselfes. For neurodiverse, it's the reverse.
Not necessarily, plenty of completely typical people enjoy spending time alone, and many neurodiverse people thrive in social settings.
Sure, it was a overgeneralization, since there are all kinds of neurodiverse.
that's like telling a blind person they're faking it because you need glasses
No, that's like telling a person faking it, they are faking it.
how are you just gonna disagree with all of medicine and science lmao
Science and medicine are saying meme making kids are autistic?
