Re: Define "suffer"

[(Anonymous)]

I've noticed that some people on Tumblr almost seem to romanticize the idea that ~neuroatypicals~ are presh creatures to be patted and coddled and ridicule the idea that in fact there is a statistically definable norm of "average behavior pattern" which defines conventional social interaction.

It may suck, but for whatever reason humans become in some cases deeply unsettled by behavioral deviations from the norm even when it isn't threatening and is usually treatable in very simple ways. For example it is considered decidedly atypical and abnormal to shake one's body parts repeatedly, or babble to oneself, even though those are essentially harmless.

So yes, neurotypicals do have an unfair advantage, but *that's what meds and psychiatric treatment are for*. To help neuroatypicals be able to take on behavior norms that allow them to function smoothly within society and gain access to stable income, housing, etc. I know people shit all over the medical community for not taking the mentally ill seriously enough about establishing a dialog of partners rather than as doctor-supervisor/patient-task-doer, but if meds didn't work people wouldn't be using or making them.

It's not in principle different from a diabetic who doesn't reveal their condition, but does have to take insulin to stay alive, though.
