I keep forgetting internalized ableism and not having pride in neurodivergence is a common attitude and having these weird moments where I'm all infodumpy with "This is an Autism/an ADHD trait! 😃😃😃😃" and the other person is weirded out that I'm making it out to be an excitable happy thing, like I shouldn't be trying to "label" the person or make it out to be a good thing

...I'm just excited, ND people make me very very happy, it is extremely cathartic experience to have them in my life and around me and to know I share things in common with them, especially the non-negative traits, I found my people at age 35 and that I'm not crazy after all and this party train is just leaving the station

Also internalized ableism sucks monkey butt

@arcadetoken Autism is one condition where the term "differently abled" is more than just a figure of speech. It can be quite disabling and quite the opposite, usually both at the same time.

MIT was full of ND people when I was there, I'm sure it still is.
