Original Post

When I was in middle and high school I was ridiculed by my peers for watching shows that they considered to be “immature” for my age.

It was the early-to-mid 2000s, and my classmates were watching shows like American Idol, The OC and Grey’s Anatomy. I was watching kids’ cartoons like SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents and Jimmy Neutron. These kids often bullied and pressured me into watching the shows they liked. Even my school counselor said that I had to watch the shows my peers were watching if I wanted to have friends, and I mentioned to her that I was lonely and wanted some friends.

My mom didn’t allow me to watch The OC, so I started watching Grey’s Anatomy and American Idol instead. I was starting to fit in with my peers at school, but it severely cost me my mental health. In my sophomore year, I became even more depressed than I already was. It was like my personality just completely changed in just a year.

To this day, it’s still hard to enjoy an episode of SpongeBob or any of the other shows I liked back then without being reminded of the times where I was ostracized for liking those shows.

I hate that neurodivergent kids are always being pressured into acting as close to neurotypical as possible by not only their peers, but the adults around them.

Leave. Neurodivergent. Kids. Alone.
