People do it both ways. This isn't an ND thing.

Seriously, why do some people seem to insist that every single behavioral trait is ND?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They're seeing things in themselves that are different from (what they correctly or mistakenly perceive as) the "norm". Since most NDs have experienced being scolded, ridiculed, shamed, ostracised for being "different", some over and over again, for all their life, they've internalised that the "weird" thing is their fault, that there's something inherently wrong with them. Recontextualising a (new) "weird" thing as a consequence of their neurodivergence makes it not their fault or at least lessens the feeling of "wrong". ... I keep saying "they" as if I don't catch myself doing it.

No, no I've seen many a North Dakotan do this.

I look up and right then roll to up and left. Are there people that actually do a full circle?

Pretty sure this isn't true

All of it. People don’t have eyes.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

Who the hell is so weak that simply rolling their eyes results in FUCKING MOTION SICKNESS??!!??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye-rolling

maybe a cultural thing, I donno. I can imagine some different interpretations.

[–] BoneDaddy 4 points 2 years ago
