death to boredom
neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

damn wtf i didnt get this shit in college
yall WHIPPERSNAPPERS are living in the lap of luxury. back in MY DAY we had to sit in class and act like we werent fantasizing about gouging our eyes out with our pencils whenever the professor would go off on a tangent about how divorced he was
Hey I'm not a whippersnapper! I'm just a mature age student that decided to try my hand at finishing my degree as an adult.
So I got to try both ways lol
you are an owl, your adult age is like, 10 years old.
Can't really relate, they never did recordings when I went
Had to force myself through textbooks and notes I tried to take
I would have done so much better if they had this the first time I tried to do my degree
It's so hard, you work 400% more than everyone else and get 50% of the same amount of work done as everyone else
i wish that was easy to do when i went to college (youtube was sparse then and smart phones not cheap)
it would have made everything so much more crisp to my also ADHD brain
I usually have to pause and rewind on 2x so it ends up taking the same amount of time. But god damn do I hate how some people talk so slow.
for real, i love just skipping over the prof rambling tangents too a lot of the time
when classes were in person i usually ended up leaving early cos i got so bored
I watch all youtube on 3x.
Woah nice
