I saw videos where some autistic people complain about what NTs do. Some of them are just regular fucking rude behaviour regardless of someone is ND or NT.

Like, they complain about NTs moving stuff around in their house. Isn't that just regular rude behaviour? I know autism makes it more sensitive to change, but touching other people's things withour their permission is just fucking rude.

Speaking in a too loud voice in an inappropriate situation is rude. You don't speak on the top of your lungs on a library or a train. It bothers others regardless of their neurotype.

Stealing other people's labelled food? Bro, if it is nit yours, that is stealing. It might be not as stimulating to NTs as much as NDs, but it is still fucking wrong and inappropriate.

Dismissing others as being too sensitive is just plain rude as well. You don't know what other people are going through. You respect boundaries for everyone.

Idk if this is the right subreddit or flares, but it always have been a pet peeve of mine.

Hi, just got diagnosed with ADHD. I am a South Korean living in the UK. I don't know if this is the right subreddit but I wanna write something that was in my head.

I watched a lot of "ND traits videos" that are made by English users. Some of the traits they mention are just cultural norms in Korea.

First, small talk or connection. In Korea, if you just try to "connect" with a stranger on the street, not only will they not response, they will actively avoid you. We have a cultist problem, and how these cultists will recruit new members is by talking to people on the street about easy-to-connect topics like the weather. Hell, you can't even ask for directions without being misunderstood. If you aren't Asian, they will think you are from Jehova's Wintesses. Sometimes they feign being a tourist and start talking. I was frustrated when someone started asking how good the weather was in the pub because I was not expecting someone who has no connection to me to talk with me without expecting me to do something.

Second, eye contact. It is actually rude to maintain eye contact when talking with people in Korea, especially if you are talking with authority figures. Doing that is seen as challenging the authority or judging you. I try to maintain eye contact when talking here, but in Korea, if I do it, I will be told that I am being weird because I am staring into their eyes, or reprimanded if I am talking to my boss or my parents.

So yeah, I think cultural differences make it harder to diagnose people from other cultures, or conversely, pathologise people from other cultures.

I wanted to know how autistic people see autism depicted as a meme, not the "acoustic" jokes or what autistic people could relate, but depicting autism as being into niche stuff or having some kind of superpower to achieve bizzare but effort-taking stuff. Edit: memes depicting autism as "idiot/autistic savant" would be more appropriate

Some examples I've seen:

- How "people with medical conditions see the world" and show autism as seeing a badly animated 3d pirate screaming "YARR THERE BE TREASURE" with casino sounds all over

- Dungeon Soup describing a sword with every enchantment known to man "made by dwarven blacksmiths with autism," so you know its good.

- "Boys with autism vs girls with autism" memes, where the girls' side shows actual autistic traits like stimming, while the boys' side is just men doing bizarre or reckless things.

- Saying something was accomplished with "the power of autism" or "collective autism," referring to someone putting an incredible amount of effort into something very niche or seemingly pointless. For example, internet users triangulating the location of a flag in the middle of nowhere from the stars in the background and aircraft flight paths.

I think it doesnt necessarily depict autism in an entirely negative light, but inaccurate nonetheless. I want to know what autistic people, especially men, feel about these kind of memes.

Hi! I recently got diagnosed with ADHD, and I was curious about neurodivergence in general, and started getting recommendations on youtube about autism.

I know that comorbidity rates are high between the two disorders, and I saw there are shared traits.

I wanted to know how autistic and AuDHD experiences are similar or different from mine, so I can get a better understanding of how it is to live with Autism and/or ADHD.
