One of the very few advantages of being neurodivergent is it is unbelievably easy to make sure someone will never want to talk to you again. Just stop making efforts to act "normal".

I don't remember how to unmask. πΆ
For me it helps to get drunk
Same. Though I'm mute under my mask so it's a mixed bag.
I'm arguably more masked when drunk because drunk me knows that I say enough stupid shit even when Im sober so drunk me just decides not to talk.

I just talk to them like I talk with my cats, albeit with a few fewer queries about if they've been cleaning their ass.

You say that, but I remember getting into it with people in college and going back and forth straight into the AM because we couldn't stop fueling one another.
Couldn't get enough of that level of socialization. It's one of the things I miss most about the university experience. Made a lot of really good long term friendships during that time, too.
Horrible for hooking up, though.
Check if you have a local makerspace or hackspace. They tend to attract a similar crowd. My local one is definitely majority neurospicy.
Oh definitely. My local DSA group has quite a few of them as well.
But it's a different game when you're not on campus, surrounded by people your age, spending hours a day in class surrounded by collaborative peers. If I could quit my job and spend all my time on hobbies (and everyone else could, too) I'm sure my dance card would be fuller.

I will now proceed to spend the next three hours reciting a sample of the vast amount of useless information I have absorbed from Wikipedia.
yay. (TT_TT)
I actually love my (diagnosed) ADHD friends who talk for hours and jump from topic to topic. I love listening to people and at least they keep it entertaining.
I like the non diagnosed friends, I just wanted to make it a point, just cause people talk a lot doesn't mean they have ADHD.

Is... Is this a win? Wasting 2 hours of your life in an attempt to teach a lesson to some rando you'll never see again?
hello!
time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.
If you enjoy it - itβs never wasted time
Time is never wasted when youβre wasted all the time?
I don't think the 2 hour ramble was an intentional attempt at teaching a lesson.
Feels more like a failure on the part of her date. A big part of active listening is keying in on things you're interested in and leading the conversation in that direction.
People with ADHD rambling at me for an hour was what I did before podcasts.

If it was fun for you then yes (nothing wasted in that case).
She was going to be talking anyway
Isn't the point that her actual neurological condition made it harder for her to control herself from going on a long rant, simultaneously explaining and demonstrating how his diagnosis isn't as bad as he thinks it is?
I don't really get the point of people who dispute medical diagnoses - "No sweetie, you don't have type 2 diabetes, ThE MeDiCaL EsTaBLiShMeNt.." like, shut the hell up you vapid cretin.
Because ppl lie and exaggerate things. Also the distrust of the medical and pharmaceutical companies was created by the over diagnosing and over prescribing of medication that created the opioid crisis. And lets not forget the conveyor belt type of medical care that stresses get them in and get them out that results in misdiagnosing and a general lack of care.
No I'm not a conspiracy theorist and 9 times out of 10 a doctor is usually right but let's not act like the distrust of American medical services isn't deserved.

Some guys will say anything to get laid, but there's also a chance he took Psych 101 and thinks he's a shrink.
sorry for the guy
Bringing that up in a conversation about struggles for neurodivergent people, not strictly true but might be appropriate as there's something to be said there. Bringing that up when a ND person tells you their diagnosis is not ok and denying the person's experience.
Why?

I have a pretty good csee of ADHD and was diagnosed in 1991 when it was relatively new and didn't have the stigma. If a date told me that, I'd walk right out. I don't need someone who denies my illness in my life. What an insufferable prick.
Doctors be out there medicalizing people
There's one thing I feel isn't mentioned too much in relation to ADHD that I feel like is worth sharing, from my personal experience with it's diagnosis and trying to solve it both through medication and therapy. I'm not saying anyone else has the same situation, but it's something worth considering since the realization helped me tremendously to deal with it.
While I do probably have a mild case of ADHD, the root of the problem wasn't as much that, but a totally fucked up attention span and basically an addiction to spending time at a computer, which was literally 90% of what I did for most of my life ever since I started playing at Dreamcast when I was 4. It was what magnified the symptoms and made it so much worse, and it's something that meds won't help with. Especially for younger people who grew up with smarthphones and social networks, it may play a huge part in making their life a lot worse, and it's pretty similar to ADHD as far as symptoms are considered. Once I started dealing with this, limiting my time with instantly gratifying things, making new hobbies outside of a computer (which was insanely hard) and learning some patience, I got way better.
If you're dealing with ADHD, both diagnosed or undiagnosed, it's something worth thinking about. I'm not saying your situation is the same, or that everyone's ADHD is just bullshit and they are addicted to scrolling. Just offering my experience as a food for thought, because it's something that helped me personally and I haven't seen it mentioned too much.

Both these people suck.
Yeah! Having ADHD makes you suck just as much as someone who says ignorant shit about mental health!
Itβs fascinating to me how some people seem to be interpreting her ADHD behavior, which she specifically warned the date about, was somehow a punishment that she did voluntarily and not, you know, the literal thing she warned him about.
I have ADHD. He's ignorant about mental disorders and she handled his response like a child. They both suck.
She went on the date, and did date-like things. He was warned how she be.
I'm okay with being belligerent to people who are condescending.
Um. A gold star for her, I guess.
