Neurodivergence Support Megathread

[opheliaoveragain]

This is a Megathread where members who struggle with any kind of Neurodivergence can post their experiences, vent, connect with others in a similar situation and give/receive support.

Neurodivergence comes in many forms and can encompass conditions like Autism (ASD), ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Tourette Syndrome, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), among others.

All is welcome here.

You can post as often or as infrequently as you like. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

This thread is intended to offer support and guidance for users who struggle with the effects of their neurodivergence and how it affects their lives.

All forum rules apply.

Are people with Asperger's also welcomed here? They aren't mentioned and I have been unwelcomed anywhere and at any place during my entire life

yes as that it is also autism, just an old name to describe some kinds of autism.

Thanks! technically i am advocating for a whole peer-support section of the forum and this is a response to my suggestion. Basically i argue that while these threads are helpful, it would be much nicer to have a full dedicated peer-support section of the forum and all the functionality that offers

Here's the latest post on that

Absolutely, as that is just another term for autism! I'm an autistic person myself, i've been heavily advocating to make a much more robust peer-support section, and i want spaces where people can easily find people they relate and find relatable people. you are welcome here! I also hope that soon we can have a whole dedicated Neurodivergent sub-forum (under a Peer-Support Section) that would enable users to post threads for their experiences.


If anyone wants to support my suggestion for more dedicated peer-support spaces beyond these megathreads (which are useful in themselves), check out my thread and don't forget to upvote!
