Dinner in America: A Rant On Nurodivergancy

I just watched Dinner in America and I'm sobbing right now. I feel so left out and frustrated and confused at the world for how I interact with it and the clear line drawn between both me and nuro typical people. The way that the same concept is portrayed in the movie by how Patty interacts with the world was so heart-stopping. I've felt like a 'retard' all my life and seeing the way that I am and the way that I am treated portrayed in a way that doesn't make nurodivergent people look weird or freakish has brought me to the point of sobbing ridiculously hard at 1:30 at night as if I do not wake up at 7AM. I love to see a movie celebrating and scrutinizing me.

Also in response to both people from my past currently stalking me:

(And any other nurotypical people who criticize the usage of labels)

Yes, I do use labels like nurodivergentcy and Autism and ADHD. There is no need to label myself for anyone but I do it because if not I'm labeled as weird, loud, annoying, too much ect. but in reality it's just you not liking the parts of me that I chose to unmask of SOMETHING I WAS LITERALLY BORN WITH. (Plus id rather be recognized for not understanding something because of lack of certain social skills being a trait of autism than being seen as stupid or even rude when I merely interact and view the world differenly than you.) And no, labeling yourself and being okay and open about something that effects your day to day life isn't being obsessed. Which, by the way, was a remark that drove me half insane with both of you. (Gross) To label and openly speak about this all is healing when society has repeatedly shamed you for every action that is caused by said label.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY TED TALK!!!!

- I'm high, starving, miserable and it's past my bed time.

Goodnight
