    those who self-pathologize

    Which describes a good chunk of lemmy.

    Describing perfectly normal human foibles, thoughts and feelings: “Look at me! I’m ADHD and autistic and neurodivergent and that makes me totally special! You wouldn’t understand.”

    Motherfuckers need to watch The Breakfast Club. We’re all struggling in our own ways, but under the hood we’re pretty much all the same.

      Phew, what a roundhouse kick.

      And you’re right, some people do that. But throwing all together is a massive asshole move.

      You’re the reason I need to pay to get a diagnosis. So I have proof. Not that it means anything to me because I know.

      I just want do give you that reflection. It sucks being in a minority (which, yes, you literally can not understand).
