    Fun fact: The term “high functional” comes from nazi Germany (or Austria to be precise). Hans Asberger devided his neurodivergent fosterlings into his “little professors” who were beneficial to the Volk and those “low functional” who were of no use and were deported to what could be described as the first gas campers. It didn’t start with the Jews. It never does. It started with labeling outcasts and burning books about gays and trans people.

      is there a modern equivalent that describes “i function differently from NTs, but am generally able to live my life without special accomodations”?

      because i’ve been described as high functioning and never really thought much about it, but the nazi connection is…uncomfortable…

    “This One is Just A Rock” You have no idea how satisfying it feels seeing this expressed so accurately, I wish I could make some of my elementary school teachers see this meme because it so succinctly summarizes the struggles I experienced too.

    Maybe then they’d think twice before dismissing other kid’s issues in the future 🙏

        To subtly draw your eye’s focus on the important words, letting it dance playfully over “This One” before stressing the importance of “Just”, and once again with “Rock”

    the Her in question:

    The magnificent Valkyrie, riding her own shockwave 😍

    Born too early to ICBM, born too late to do intercontinental bomb runs, born just in time to be developed and flight tested and then effing cancelled.

    I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like “Have you recently felt overwhelmed?” Do you feel anxious a lot?"

    I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there’s a good reason that I might be feeling down: I’ve variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I’ve felt “anxious a lot”!
