When someone calls me ‘high functioning’ because I can intellectualize what I’m going through…

The rage. The restraint.
It’s immeasurable.

@britt And, of course, that always comes with the (USUALLY) unspoken addendum of "if you can vocalize it then it's clearly not as big of a deal as you want to claim it is."

@GuerillaGrue This.

My hot take is that psychology generally sees a neurodivergent mind as wrong/incorrect/processing incorrectly/in need of fixing.

When in fact, our lived experience is full of depth, nuance, and helps us move through the world in a way that works for our nervous systems.

I could write a thesis lol
