Rules, DNI, Intro, & More!

This is a “x culture is” blog for all neurodivergent folks. So anyone with autism, ADHD, PTSD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, tourette’s, personality disorders, or any other mental illness, psychological/neurological condition, or non-neurotypical neurotype! This includes self-DX folk as well. This was inspired by all the other “x culture is” blogs out there!

This blog is run by Mod Emri (She/They), Mod Aki (He/Him), Mod Milo (they/he/it) and formally Mod Corvid (They&/Them&) and Mod Theseus (voi/voice)!! Queue is currently posting 11 times a day. Asks are always appreciated.

Submission Rules

Please keep your asks to nd culture submissions only, or at the very least being neurodivergent related!! We’d also appreciate it if you didn’t ask for advice as we’re not able to provide help in that department.
Start submissions with “neurodivergent culture is” or some variation (”autism culture is,” “dyspraxia culture is,” “PTSD culture is,” etc.) Asks will be deleted if they don’t follow this.
Keep all fandom/shipping/character talk vague. We do not know every fandom and may not feel comfortable handling specific fandom or media related submissions.
Try to keep your asks free of discourse, we want this to be as positive a place as possible! (Vagueing about your own struggles or life is fine, though.)
Please try to use tone tags if relevant!

DNI

TERFs
transmeds
MAPs/NOMAPs
all queerphobes, including a-spec exclusionists, transphobes, biphobes, panphobes, etc.
Those who believe in cluster B abuse (narcissistic/borderline/anti-social/histrionic)

We will try to tag everything appropriately, but please let us know if you want anything tagged that we have not been tagging or forgot to tag! (Things we currently try to tag for.)

If you would like to ask us any questions, please read our FAQ first! It’s underneath the cut. Any questions that have already been answered in our FAQ will be deleted and ignored.

My brain when I actually try to do those things: you want me??? to work???????? i'm sorry i can't do that

ND culture is now and again being left out and being excluded but a lot of people in the social group so believe in a thing (usually benign) and I do not and can't make myself believe to keep the peace or make more friends or get like popular. Just not good for my mental health but some things i can't force myself into doing things and believing and have to come to it in my own time, if at all. Sometimes I literally can't 'mask' to fit in. it sucks so much but sometimes I just can't.

ND culture is listening to the same song on repeat for 5 hours because it’s the only song that *hits right* and motivates you to do stuff

dermatillomania culture is being told “stop picking at your skin/biting your nails!” then saying to them well i can’t stop, then being told “why not?” then wanting to explain “it’s because i have a mental disorder that literally gives me the uncontrollable urge to do so! if i wanted to stop i would have stopped a long time ago!”

ND culture is skirting carefully past content from my prior hyperfixations because even if I still love them, I don't really want them to suck me back in and away from my current one

ND (dyslexia, autism, and DID) culture is getting really confused when people bring up typing quirks. Like, yeah, I get it messes with screen readers, but so do emojis and I never see anyone harping on those? It seems like it's only when systems have typing quirks people really get mad about it and it's frustrating bc we try not to even bring out those alters, even though we translate it first. Because apparently that's not okay either?

Idk, it seems like a double standard. Neurotypicals use things that fuck with screen readers all the time and no one shits on them for it, but as soon as a neurodivergent does it, it's a problem 😒
