Topic	"Neurodivergent" has been watered down to a worthless term..

I do think there's a lot of truth to the issues TikTok algorithmic cycles getting people "stuck" in communities about different disorders, and with only self reflection and a whole lot of suggestion through TikTok, it's easy to get it confused. Unfortunately the placebo effect is very strong. I guess it's not really placebo, but presumably similar mechanisms. They have a name for this kind of think "1st year med student disorder". Same issue. The thing about ADHD is it has elements across its spectrum that are things normal people experience. Except it's a chronic, 4 or 5 times a week type of thing. But sometimes social media makes memes about dumb shit that are barely related like "Do you ever hate making appointments?" and the tumblr user is named like JustADHDThings, and other people are like "OMG SAME MAYBE I HAVE ADHD". ADHD is can be a ton of things at once. Being unable to finish task or keep to a specific order, hating loud noises like screaming or slamming, ignoring or procrastinating basic tasks like showering/brushing your teeth/folding laundry, a dislike of being excluded or rejected, feeling like your body is being driven by a motor, impulsivity, forgetfulness. --- "You're made of spare parts, aren't ya, bud?" <cite>wanderingshade posted [p:975232288] in "Neurodive...
