Something most people don't speak about ...

Cassandra syndrome . Being with a neurodivergent person when you are not . And having a family who is also neurodivergent. . There is support for the people but not the one poor person who has to deal with them all the time. The rejection . The being ignored and neglected and the abuse. Therapists will make excuses for them but what about the poor child abused by them ?
And I am saying by no means that all people on the spectrum are abusive .
But the ones who are .... It's not an excuse to torture people .

I'm not sure what neurodivergent means.

@SpiritSkye @Tumbleweed ADHD is also counted by some as neurodivergent.

@basilfawlty89 My middle brother is ADHD & when he was little, he was wide open. He's pretty calm & collected now but he does get rattled sometimes & goes into this thing where he just shuts down completely.

@Tumbleweed I understand.
I just meant that ND doesn't only mean Autism Spectrum.

I've strongly been suspected of having Adult ADHD (inattentive variety) by multiple therapists. Never officially diagnosed though.

Officially I have OCD and Depression.

@basilfawlty89 I have anxiety issues which causes me to become a bit unhinged sometimes :(
