NEUROTYPICAL PEOPLE; PLEASE READ THIS THREAD:

hi please listen to your neurodivergent friends when they’re talking about hyperfixations. you might not care or be interested but it makes a difference.

sometimes i info dump about things and im very sorry if it gets over whelming but i cant help it and i hate feeling like im a burden. please dont tell your nd friends that you dont care/you aren’t listening to them.
it really hurts.

any time someone even slightly listens to me about a hyperfixation, i cry because im so used to not being listened to. to being ignored because im too much.

hamilton was one of my biggest hyperfixations, i would only listen to the soundtrack, i have tons of merchandise, ive seen it live, i know a lot of the genuine history,,, yet people would just dismiss and make fun of me as a “theatre kid” just because i tend to info dump

its very hard for me to talk about things im genuinely interested in because of how normalised it is for me to be dismissed.

which is why i love twitter. it just kinda feels like im talking to myself (?) but not? like an open document that people can contribute to without telling me to shut up.
