I hate the Ableist Wing of the State!

English

My mom thinks it’s the 1970’s where the US still has a really crappy welfare state.

Because I’m autistic, and she’s one of those jackass ableist scumbags who works in the “Special Ed” wing of the local school, she’s forcing me down the insufferable bureaucracy shit.

(“Special Ed” is essentially one to three auxiliary classrooms in a school where us neurodivergents and other disabled peoples get shoved into so that nobody else sees us.)

I’m absolutely sick of it. I’ve had to deal with this sort of shlick my entire life and I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE!

I’m sick of the caseworker things, I’m sick of the liberal bureaucratic stuff… I actually enjoy the peer support group thing I’m in. I like that bit!

Also had to deal with care workers/aids in school which felt way more like my mom continuing to enforce her shit on me outside of home. Every Friday in 1st grade I came home and it was “LETS POINT OUT EVERYTHING WRONG YOU DID THIS WEEK! ESPECIALLY THE MINOR ONES!”

Needless to say I’d much rather go down the “neurotypical path” and deal with the unpleasantness it brings. I mean hey, atleast the misery of living under capitalism is delivered quicker!

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!
