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 .

Yeah people pretty much just let what they hear first, define a person. An individual who abuses or neglects someone else, in the eyes of public opinion is just someone who needs to be punished.

But a person who was diagnosed with something and abuses or neglects someone else just needs help.

Both need to be taken into account no matter which one came first. The diagnosis, or the behavior.

I know what you mean because my dad has borderline PD. People really have no idea how to take the bigger picture into account instead of judging one moment.
