being neurodivergent is hard. a lot of my behaviour was acceptable as a child (not speaking, having interests, etc.), but now they're considered almost completely unacceptable. my interests are my life. they get in the way of functioning as a normal person at worse and at best help me understand the world around me. i wish more people understood that and wouldn't look down on me for having them.

maybe i am childish, but i have a few people in my life who would beg to differ. i think my interests are cool. they are my hobby. some hobbies are more productive than others and that's fine. i'm not interested in the capitalist hellscape that is this world. i'll put in the work, but the precious moments of my life that are my own i'd like to be doing something that brings me joy. is that so wrong?
