but because I Hate Interactions That Involve Reciting A Script

evitcani-writes:

please god stop stigmatizing hallmarks of neurodivergent behavior as “red flags” for bad friends.

I mean stuff like:

Oversharing (ADHD)

“secretly” copying the way you talk/dress/act (common for everyone, but many neurodivergent people who are affected socially)

Forgetting to pause and ask about you (ADHD, autism, social anxiety)

Failure to convey empathy or affection in a way you understand (autism, social anxiety, many many others)

Unhappiness (Depression, also friends don’t have to perform happiness wtf)

Talk “too much” (ADHD, social anxiety, so many more)

Fussy (really?)

Refuse to open up (really??)

Talk loudly (ADHD notoriously makes volume control hard, also wtf how’s that make u a bad friend)

Just hhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

talk to your friends !! if you feel underappreciated or overtalked!

✨Communication✨
