    Jesus, everyone wants on the ADHD/autistic train, needs to be “special”. Every post on c/autism is about perfectly normal behaviors and quirks that affect most of us.

    I think a lot of it is young people struggling with growing up, as we all do. They think everyone else is doing just fine and they’re the weird one. Motherfuckers need to watch The Breakfast Club, get a clue. We all struggled in much the same ways.

    Hell, my first year of college saw me so mixed up I felt like I was going through puberty again, but I recognized that it was merely another phase in life. Happened again in my late 20s. LOL, thought I was cursed to flip out every 10 years. Never happened again thank fucking god.

      tbf, improper diets and insufficient medical care, general social isolation made worse by an intentional housing “crisis” that is destroying communities, (and stress itself, exacerbated by those things and job insecurity) can all trigger latent risk anyone might have for X mental Illness…the US is a very sick place, in more ways than one.

      us apes are social creatures, we need proper social interaction in order to not go fucking crazy…and right now we have tech/media companies (and governments) all fighting for control over what digital bubbles they want to keep their populations isolated in…and so far they’re winning
