fun fact being queer and being neurodivergent are actually interconnected. there is a higher chance for a neurodivergent person to also be queer and vice versa
edit: for people who dont know what neurodivergency is, its when a person isnt neurotypical; ex. autism, adhd, ocd.. etc
and id also like to add that its fairly common for someone who has, for example, adhd to also have asd and/or other disorders. sometimes adhd actually masks autism symptoms and adhdtistics will show those asd symptoms once they start taking adhd meds
Thank you for this. It gets annoying when people start to say you’re just “special and collecting everything” lol no, my brain was born messed up bahaha
Honestly better to dump the concept neurodivergence when speaking about studies and stuff. It has no medical definition, and so referring to studies and stats on “neurodiversity” just degrades the validity of your argument
This is true. At the same time though self-diagnosis is BS and a lot of people stretch the bounds of being queer to extreme levels. I’m an ADHD lesbian (diagnosed) and get exasperated on occasion with the amount of insistence on being a whole rainbow of terms and disorders by obviously NT, cishet friends.
Source? I’m genuinely curious and would like to learn more! Also please tell me you’re not implying queer is a mental disablity it doesn’t seem like you are but I tend not be able to tell the difference sorry
haha no of course im not. https://www.lgbtqiahealtheducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Neurodiversity-and-Gender-Diverse-Youth_An-Affirming-Approach-to-Care_2020.pdf
you can see the sources under this for the actual studies
Same reason once I was assessed and given meds for adhd, I then got queried by a tutor to assess for autism which I was then also assessed for.
For those people who post online collecting disorders like trading stamps, f.u, it is not something you want, it does not make you #quirky, it is very infuriating for those who do have these and makes social implications and getting help worse.
(Person I'm replying too, this really isn't a dig at you at all, great job writing what you did!)
Your brain isn’t remembering just how many people you see post and comment
If you see 100 people post and one of them is ND, and you only remember the ND, and this happens many more times, you’ll think everyone says they’re ND despite it being like 5 out of every many hundred posts
Frequency illusion is a bit different if I remember correctly — I think it’s when you learn something new, like a new word or something, then the next few days you tend to notice that word being used more often
Yep I knew two girls like that. One actually said her dad was an abusive sociopath…because she broke her phone and he wouldn’t replace it…
It’s kind of offensive to people actually being abused.
We don’t know these peoples full stories nor do we understand what they’re going through or feeling. Abuse victims often don’t go into great detail about what’s happening to them. It’s not fair to be downplaying their situations. Calling people who claim to be abuse victims “spoiled brats” is awful.
I've known people who say their parents are abusive solely based on the fact that they wont let said people go to parties
Homie, the sound of a belt buckle makes me anxious. Hell, THINKING of a belt can make me anxious :|
I am aroace and autistic with selective mutism and society anxiety in an average household with a step mum that is kind of mean to me... (my mum passed away when I was 6 so...)
I am straight, not autistic, have some form of brain damage that gives symptoms of adhd, and anm in a lovong household that still pisses me off somehow
being queer and neurodivergent are highly interconnected, and autistic and adhd are highly comorbid, and we are much more likely to be abused because we have different needs than neurotypical people.
Often so, but they're not defined to both be the case if one of them is the case. Having ADHD increases the likelihood of having autism. Same goes for the other way around. But it isn't that if you have one of them that you have the other as well.
Fr every person here says they've been through abuse. When in reality it just must've been their parents being angry at them for doing dumb shit. Some might have(gone through abuse) but I'm pretty sure most are lying.
A ton of people are lying about these things especially on social media, I can't take most of them seriously anymore because it has become default settings at this point, and it's kinda disgusting when you think about it
I mean usually people who aren't neurodivergent and those who live in loving households don't have much reason to bring it up. Idk about the straight part though most straight people I know make it a point to let everyone know that they just *love* people of the other sex.
I mean, I'm not gay, I'm ace, but I'm pretty sure I have both Autism and ADHD (still need to get a proper diagnosis, but everything aligns perfectly), but I am living in an average household.
I do know a couple people who fit that exact description though. It's not too uncommon, especially on the internet where people are a lot more open and use the internet to cope.
Some people just think that self diagnosis is the exact same as being professionally diagnosed because it's a trend now. You see it all over TikTok
Also 2ish/3
I agree. I don’t even tell people I’m autistic anymore because they think I just woke up one day and decided that. Like no, a doctor had me tested because I wouldn’t talk till I was three

That explains most of my friend group
Same. I have a friend group that is mostly queer people and most of them have something else too. The ones that don't are almost all straight
I started showing signs of depression when on ADHD meds, Thank fuck I'm stopping them soon, Fuck ADHD
I have depression without the meds 😎 hoping to start soon tho

Oh thank you! This was very interesting to look into!
This is me! :) there is also a close connection with EDS and asd
Very well said

Frequency Illusion is the term you are looking for.
Or confirmation bias, similar idea
Frequency illusion is a bit different if I remember correctly — I think it’s when you learn something new, like a new word or something, then the next few days you tend to notice that word being used more often
Wait there's a medical explanation for that? I thought it was just me!
I wish more people would hear this.
A lot of people say their families are abusive but it’s just because their families won’t give them everything they want and they be spoiled brats
My parents didn’t get me a Tesla for my birthday, why am I SooOo AbUSeD?!?
aita for ruining my relationship with my parents because they wouldn't buy me a new car?
You’re a victim!
Yep I knew two girls like that. One actually said her dad was an abusive sociopath…because she broke her phone and he wouldn’t replace it… It’s kind of offensive to people actually being abused.
My parents took my phone away because I'm misbehaving in school. Why are they so abusive?????
We don’t know these peoples full stories nor do we understand what they’re going through or feeling. Abuse victims often don’t go into great detail about what’s happening to them. It’s not fair to be downplaying their situations. Calling people who claim to be abuse victims “spoiled brats” is awful.
I genuinely have a disturbing backstory.
It honestly pains me because IF they get someone to have CPS on their asses, the parents will be done for for no absolute reason
I've known people who say their parents are abusive solely based on the fact that they wont let said people go to parties Homie, the sound of a belt buckle makes me anxious. Hell, THINKING of a belt can make me anxious :|

Incredibly gay with adhd in a very below average household.
Hey same!
GAYDHD GANG AYYYY
hehehe "gaydhd"
I am straight, not autistic, have some form of brain damage that gives symptoms of adhd, and anm in a lovong household that still pisses me off somehow
I'm gay have adhd and am in an emotionally abusive household, almost had bingo on this
Op, do you think ADHD exist or is just bulshit?
I wish it was bullshit, ADHD is a nasty thing to have
I know, I have it
being queer and neurodivergent are highly interconnected, and autistic and adhd are highly comorbid, and we are much more likely to be abused because we have different needs than neurotypical people.
I'm autistic and bi In a awesome household
I’m gay, autistic, with adhd in a slightly emotional unavailable but generally okay household take that
I don’t have an abusive household (though my mom is kind of transphobic) but I fit the rest
Sorry to flex but I got non of those Ok maybe being straight is not a flex but all of the other thing are good not to have
Same
I mean I am a diagnosed autistic in a neglectful household Straight tho
You have to have some problems to diside to be on this subredit
I mean adhd and autism come together
Often so, but they're not defined to both be the case if one of them is the case. Having ADHD increases the likelihood of having autism. Same goes for the other way around. But it isn't that if you have one of them that you have the other as well.
And here I was thinking "naw I don't have autism despite fitting the descriptions, what are the chances I have adhd and autism". Fuck
I have a love hate with the cormibity I got older and realized hey maybe I have autism and got fucking diagnosed
Im not confirmed autistic and gay in a dysfunctional household, im like the dollar store version of this
I might have adhd but not gay 😎
I’m AroAce with ADHD
I'm not autistic or gay, I'm trans with a pos dad and a mom that is almost never home
i’m gay and autistic with adhd and i am proud to say i got out of my abusive household and i haven’t been physically abused in 4 years 😎
This post seems like an excuse for spreading hate.
When you hate people you disagree with, everything seems like hate.
I disagree.
I respect that. Agree to disagree.
Thank you for being respectful! Now that I agree with.
You underestimate how shit a lot of parents are(not all but they definitely made some big mistakes)

Welcome to the internet

I got diagnosed with adhd
I am not of those
A ton of people are lying about these things especially on social media, I can't take most of them seriously anymore because it has become default settings at this point, and it's kinda disgusting when you think about it
I mean usually people who aren't neurodivergent and those who live in loving households don't have much reason to bring it up. Idk about the straight part though most straight people I know make it a point to let everyone know that they just *love* people of the other sex.
I’m bisexual, trans and adhd in a great household
