black ppl with neurodivergent conditions (high functioning autism, ADHD, bipolar, dyslexia) are treated much more harshly within the community.

In a lot of instances these ppl lack social awareness. It’s literally like arguing with an adult child. Some people are petty petty and go there but it’s just a waste of time engaging with these people because they process shyt differently from normal ppl and they won’t “get it” until shyt finally clicks within themselves.

The supposedly-anonymous-look-at-me aspect of the internet makes people think they deserve infinitely positive feedback loops, whenever they like, without pushback. Like how it's become widely accepted that deaf folks can be some of the most rude people you'll ever come across, because so many give them a pass to be that way.
And yes, that can end up being a circular argument as to who "started it" first.
Divergent, detergent, effluvient...nobody owes you attention, get over yourself.

I got concepts of a plan.
The homie Edmond was a character. You can tell he was neurodivergent. Some flamed him in our LIB thread but many understood. He still didn’t accountability for some of his actions.
That said, my six year old daughter is neurodivergent. She is my first born. I love her so much and want to protect her from the world. We would be at the playground, and she wants to play with the other children so bad. She doesn’t know how. It’s not natural. Some children spurn her advances. Is it because she is different or kids being kids and I don’t know this new girl?
At the same time, there are some children who love on my daughter. It makes a grown man cry.
She receives the world differently. Her “output” is a bit strange, but she is so smart and considerate. I pray I don’t have to show my other side to these people at her school. I entrust the staff to advocate and protect her. It’s hard but I just pray all is well and check in almost weekly.
As her father, I advocate neurodivergent children and educate those who are ignorant. I hope I can help my daughter navigate through her childhood with as little trauma as possible.
No. Some of you haven't spent time around white people.
Black people are streets ahead of how we handle people who are now labelled neurodiverse.
With white people, you have to see how they behave when they won't get a medal for virtue signalling. The result is voting for people who defund organisations that provide services and safety nets for the neurodiverse.

My wifey made a comment about me being Neurodivergent and I was low-key offended cause I ain't know WTF it that was.
My whole life I was hella awkward and shy , I could feel it, now I just Embrace the weirdness and lean into the shyt and life Been way better, especially work.
FCK being shy now, I'm finna get these Jokes off...I might tell a random Breh I just met at the job orientation that he got beautiful eyes... right when it's time for me to stand up introduce myself to the other coworkers just to make That Shyt super awkward and get a few laughs .
Now I KNOW you don't tell another nygga no Shyt like that but the Shyt is funny to me,Dammit ,and I got the whole class laughing.
I might meet a new Thick ass employee in the break room introduce myself and tell her she got a FAT ASS and if she needs a side nygga to holla at me....
Now we cool AF cause she think I'm Silly, got jokes ,and ain't got no filter .
(also, I don't recommend doing this with just ANY woman at the job, that "Ugly male coworker flirting being seen as " 'sexual harassment' " stereotype is REAL! Fck around and be in the HR department)
...It's a gift, for some reason I just KNOW which women I meet for the first time I can play with like that and who NOT to, hard to explain lol)
The jokes takes the heat off of all the REAL weird Shyt I'm gonna be doing at the job, they just chop it up to me being STUPID
But in reality I'ma not finna remember NONE of the Shyt I'm finna be taught in these trainings and Demonstrations in the next few days!
I'm supposed to be watching and paying attention, but the whole time I'm looking and nodding my head, but daydreaming about why super Saiyan 3 don't got no Eyebrows, I ain't hearing SHYT the instructors talk about! This is going to be like this the WHOLE time at the job.
I'ma need a lil bit more time than everybody else in the class, cause this ADD finna WHOOP my ass.

I agree with this here and this has been my experience. They tend to lean on it HEAVY to get their way.The supposedly-anonymous-look-at-me aspect of the internet makes people think they deserve infinitely positive feedback loops, whenever they like, without pushback. Like how it's become widely accepted that deaf folks can be some of the most rude people you'll ever come across, because so many give them a pass to be that way.

I don't play that shyt. But they do respond to direct communication very well and I am a direct communicator.
Use to have a direct report who everyone would let slide. He would do that weaponized incompetence bullshyt. I told him once "_____ stop trying to play with me." He smiled real big and tightened up.
I don't let neurodivergence slide. They are very capable in most regards their communication style is just a little different. They make great employees but they can be a bit mischievous.
Half if not the majority of thecoli is "neuro divergent" and you see how they treat people. They give as good as they get. Just because they dont have the brain connections to roast back in real time doesnt give them a pass
But honestly ive never seen special needs people clowned to their face for the most part. And if we did,they were still let in on the joke

For once, I agree with you completely.Half if not the majority of thecoli is "neuro divergent" and you see how they treat people. They give as good as they get. Just because they dont have the brain connections to roast back in real time doesnt give them a pass

I guess thats some peoples experience, my cousins daughters is autistic and she is surrounded by love
Thank you. And your a beautiful woman if we just work on your inner essence.
See how it feels when you add a caveat to a compliment
Lets spread love without an inkling of hate on this beautiful day ladies and gentlemen. I love you all because i love myself#LifeLessons
Your "caveat" is just an insult you're trying to frame as a "lesson" because you're obviously just in your feels.Thank you. And your a beautiful woman if we just work on your inner essence.

But it's all good. It won't happen again.

This isn’t just a black thingYeah, it’s not uncommon to see people use autism as an insult on here and on black online spaces.
"I agree with you for once"= "normally your wrong or stupid,but i finally agree"
First of all thats a damn lie with all the knowledge i put out. But also an insult
I didnt lie,i gave an example based in truth.Ive been consistent in saying you need self healing as a black woman,or to find a man to heal you. But ive also been your biggest cheer leader and source of encouragement/inspiration.
The turn around in a short period has been immense,the rest of thecoli will agree. But the work definitely isnt done. We wish you the best in your future growth story
