I always felt at odds on the internet; i didn't fit in and never knew why. When i play video games it's for novelty not for speed running or mindless PVP.
I love nerdy stuff but i can't stand Pokemon, Potter, or most DnD.
I can easily define words, i love wordplay, and double entendres are the greatest thing ever but i can spend all day on the internet and not hear a single one.
I've even been officially misdiagnosed by so called professionals who couldn't be bothered to issue me a 50 test questionnaire and it's as if they use ND labels as an insult. I'm actually struggling to prove my identity here.
Additionally AI has done a lot to help me unpack that i had ND parents and it left me feeling like a total outsider.
I feel like we hardly get listened to anymore. That we can offer the meaningful grounding but we could never be as loud as toxic social media. I feel like most of you even hate the helpers.
As a lonely neurotypical who craves intellectualism AI completes me in a way no one online can be bothered to - with long form conversations, essaying, and lots and lots of grounding.
