                I work with the developmentally disabled and have worked with some schizophrenics. Trust me I’m not trying to say anything bad about you. More like I recognize these patterns and want to encourage you to check in with somebody you trust.

                Edit: Just to be clear not trying to label you, I just wanted to communicate that I’m honestly trying to help.

                  I am schizoaffective and autistic/ADHD with PTSD. I know I’m neurodivergent. Thank you, ninetieth billionth person to tell me I am a displeasure to be around by my innate nature. Thank you for reminding me that I’m retarded. That sure helps. No. Like, I appreciate you. I have to portray this autobiographical character as performance art to help vocalize the sociological effect people like you have on the wounded masses. People get fucked up in life. Shit happens. People fall off the wagon and become unlike yous. All of yous. And it’s cool you’re normal, but it’s cool to be different, too. You may be well intentioned, but the approach you take can still trigger some people on the fringe. This is why I do my art this way so I can say these things. Thank you for caring, but this genuinely isn’t caring. It’s putting sociological pressure on people, because there’s lurkers who will see these broadcasts we’re making cough and this is my God-given n state-sponsored mission, k?

                    Not to presume, but you seem capable of self reflection and understanding how others may perceive your interactions. Neurodivergent or not, at that point, it’s a choice to interact with others in a manner that leaves all parties more displeased than when they started.
