People Do Not Choose These Disorders Anymore Than A Cancer Patient - Blog Posts

4 years ago

As someone who is ND themself and who has friends with “bad” ND disorders, I’m gonna ask neurotypical people to do a few things.

STOP DEMONIZING NEURODIVERGENT DISORDERS LIKE DID, BPD, BD, PSYCHOSIS, ASPD, ETC.

These people are NOT monsters, they are NOT your experiments to test on, they are NOT your hobby. They are living breathing people trying to live the best they can in a neurotypical focused world.

What bothers me the most is that these people are struggling, and then they don’t feel like they can reach out for help because the minute they do, they get demonized for it.

Another thing neurotypical people need to stop doing,

STOP INFANTILIZING PEOPLE WITH ADHD AND AUTISM. We are NOT infants. We are NOT incapable. We are NOT your “soft little baby.” Or some other bullshit.

We too, are people, we are also struggling, but treating us as if we’re incapable of doing anything when we very well could be is beyond insulting.

Neurodivergent people are just that, PEOPLE. Stop treating us otherwise. We just want respect.

Seriously.
