Neurodivergent people: Trying their best to fit into society

You: Fuck those assholes.

As someone who is neurodivergent and operates at an engineering level, when I'm under pressure I can sometimes be an asshole unintentionally. I try my best to recognize when I do this and apologize when I can. It's not something I can help. It's impulsive which means it's hard to control.

Here you are telling everyone that I am not deserving of compassion or understanding and should be written off as an asshole.

Do you know what it's like being neurodivergent? How people treat you when they find out? I now have to be on my best behavior at all times or I could get labeled an asshole and therefore deserve nothing according to you.

Sometimes mental illness is like having a stab wound in your gut and you have to act like everything is fine. It's not always possible in all situations.

To say this post lacks awareness is an understatement.

We have mental illness bro. Shits hard for everyone around us as well. I grew up in the 80s when there was no spectrum and the solution to bad behavior was abuse. We are hard to handle for some people. Even our parents. I'm not saying everyone was justified in every way they treated you but we are not normal and can act out in crazy ways. I think you need to be more aware of who YOU are and how your behavior effects those around you. I say this because your rant is mostly finger pointing with no mention of your own behavior.

Yes but as soon as I buy it and use it I will lose all interest. (Looks over at 3 unused 3D printers)
