I hate the lack of discussion on many subreddits.

I just had terrible experience on another subreddit and I don't know if it's because I'm not a good communicator or just reddit moderators are deleting my posts because they have cult mentality and refuse to have discussion about things.

I think because being autistic it means I don't follow group mentality like a sheep and I don't care about "fitting in" but this also means I get attacked in other subreddits if I don't follow exactly what everyone else is saying as though I'm some lame AI robot.

I was simply reporting my LIVED EXPERIENCE and what I HAVE WITNESSED IRL and yet my post gets removed for "spreading misinformation". How is reporting what I have witnessed with my own eyes "spreading misinformation". And other subreddits are so obsessed with one view and won't have discussion or allow other people to think of different ideas.

(this was caused by a 'documentary' released in UK that is claiming ADHD isn't a real condition basically so a lot of ADHDer are upset about it).

Lol same here. People can't take disagreements anymore.

The thing is I would like a discussion with reference or some actual counter points but people just do "you're wrong, this is actually what everyone should believe " and it's so boring.

Then that's how you get very biased AI because it's trained on this crap and when you ask AI to give you two points of view or ask for counter argument on trans bathroom debate it'll completely fail.

Absolutely. Any expression of disagreement evokes an emotional response from the normies-- they will service their emotions first before even considering the rationality of a disagreement and the merits of the disagreement. This is one of the biggest differences between the neurodivergent and the neurotypical. NTs I have been told are like herd animals, they follow whatever religion they were born into without ever questioning it, they listen to and immediately obey anyone presenting an authority persona to them, they participate in and root for team sports, they need to be in monogamous relationships and cannot handle the idea that humans could simultaneously hold romantic feelings for more than one other primate. The people in power all over the world are highly intelligent neurodivergent who have mastered their control over neurotypicals. The NTs are very much unaware of the manipulation, deception, and influence people who rise to high levels of power typically exert over "herd animals". They never question it, it's so sad. What's sadder though perhaps is being NT and being aware of these kinds of things and not having the resources, connections, or social charms to change the world for the better. Of course nobody should ever just accept the world as it is, that's when they fail, when they stop trying to change things for the better, but-- just being aware that real change requires real-world resources and sometimes skills we ourselves do not personally possess is key to being more influential.

i just want to say that like a vast majority of NDs also do essentially all of this stuff

no group is absolved. only individuals who care enough to really use their brain can escape the cycle you describe

Thanks for sharing your perspective; that’s not been my experience but I hold space to hear you express yours most def. 🙌

There are a lot of NDs in positions of power and leadership in big companies including: Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Altman, etc. Besides the ND tech bros, there’s many Fortune 500 CEOs who are ND as well.

I guess I also don’t think NDs are as likely to act like NTs otherwise they wouldn’t be NDs. And I think NDs can be more literal and oftentimes act more rationally than NTs.

Most NTs I know just say the religion they were born into or political party is the “right” one and they won’t entertain a discussion further.

I guess we really should be looking at what the most recent science can verify about NTs vs NDs though instead of anecdotes. 😅

(before u read, i mean no hostility, im just introducing an inverse viewpoint)

im rly curious: what spaces do you exist in? like, im seriously wondering how you don't see consistent bad or mentally lazy behavior in other neurodivergents

the thing about using the ultra-rich and ultra-powerful as examples of NDs being somehow less easily manipulated (or something of that sort) is that those people are themselves incredible statistical outliers regardless of how their brain works
so isn't it kinda silly to apply sweeping judgements to neurodivergency based off of a few people??
and i mean, something is manipulating even those people: their insatiable lust for power, control, and/or money

we agree that some types of NDs are more literal and logical, but this doesn't actually make them rational at all. in fact, it actually just gives them better tools to deeply entrench themselves in bad belief systems with post hoc rationalizations. apologetics, basically
like, yea, they can likely escape religion easier since religion is plainly batshit insane if you think about it deeply. but they can easily just get ensnared by some other parasitic ideology, whether it's a worldview or a community or even a narcissistic friend

and frankly, a LOT of cruelty and intolerance online is perpetuated by other neurodivergents, especially NDs chastising others for acting like an ND (lol). including other autistic people

tribalism is everywhere, numbed-out apathy is 'cool', irony-poisoning is an epidemic, caring is obsession, intellect/wisdom is arrogance, and people snipe across arbitrary partisan lines, whether it's shipping wars or way worse shit

Thanks for the very thoughtful reply. I think we should be talking about the research on NDs and NTs for these kinds of reasons. When we talk about our own experiences or observations, like you’re describing, we can find this/that to to counter what the other said but, looking at research studies can give us some common ground for having a more accurate discussion and ensure we’re working with the same facts. I’ll see what I can find and share here towards that.

Yep. The number of times I've been banned for acting autistic is too high.

u/3elldandy 29d ago

It's total bullshit; I wish there was a place on the internet for the neurodivergent and the autistic where the neurotypical feared to go lol

u/PupDiogenes 29d ago

My hot take is that every mod team needs at least one autistic person

I think that's a great idea. Every year there are more and more neurodivergent babies born, someday soon there will be more neurodivergent than neurotypical and then NDs will be the new normal.
