💡 This Has Happened To Me As Well. I Know I've Tried To Mirror The Behaviors Of Neurotypical People
💡 This has happened to me as well. I know I've tried to mirror the behaviors of neurotypical people and it backfires OFTEN! Not all the time, but definitely often enough where I need (mental health/spiritual) recovery time. I just heard Dory's voice... "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." But it is sad that neurotypical people don't always catch what's going on in the neurodivergent brain and see our reactions as inappropriate when we're trying to do what we thought is required to meet societal expectations.
An autistic person says that something bothers them.
A neurotypical person does it just to make fun of the autistic person's reaction.
The autistic person gets angry.
The neurotypical person insists that they were "kidding" and "didn't mean anything bad by it" therefore the autistic person is "too sensitive".
The autistic person then learns to accept that this is just how people act.
The autistic person begins treating people the same way.
Neurotypical people then use this as evidence that autistic people lack empathy and don't respect boundaries. The fact that the autistic person was "kidding" or "didn't mean anything bad by it" means nothing.
The golden rule, which is to treat others how you want to be treated, applies to neurodivergent people also. Neurotypical people don't seem to understand that. But neurodivergent people are the ones labeled as defective.

Hello there 👋
Welcome back to the third week of Mindful Mondays. It’s very good to see you 🧘
Here is another installment of mindfulness to get the first day of your week well underway, and underway well. Experience the phases of the Moon as you turn on, tune in, and space out to relaxing music and stunning ultra-high-definition visuals of our cosmic neighborhood… 🌌
Sounds good, right? Of course it does. Mysterious, even. You can watch even more Space Out episodes on NASA+, a new no-cost, ad-free streaming service.
Why not give it a try? There is nothing to lose, everything to gain. Because just a few minutes this Monday morning can make all the difference to your entire week, as @nasa helps to bring mindfulness from the stars and straight to you.
