we all know that brain chemistry isn't "mind over matter" but it isn't "meds over matter" or "therapy over matter" either. it is impossible to "perfectly manage" neurodivergence to be indistinguishable from a neurotypical. ADHD is present in EVERY aspect of my life, even while medicated. It affects my behavior, it affects my emotions, it affects my motor skills, it affects my experience of time, it affects my memory; it. affects. everything.

We joke a lot but some of yall genuinely think that neurodivergence is just "neurotypical minus some helpful transmitters," and that there are tools to fully compensate for our deficiencies. It isn't, and there aren't. Not being ableist isn't just "giving people a free pass on specific things." In the case of neurodivergence, it's an acknowledgement that you cannot possibly comprehend someone's experiences or capabilities through the lens of your own brain. Its like claiming the ability to imagine colors your eyes cant perceive. A monochromatic colorblind person can't imagine green. You can't imagine a different brain. (This applies to nd people talking about other nd people, too. It's a spectrum.)

I don't want to see any more posts about travis being insufferable or annoying and i will gut you if i see a single post about "ADHD isnt an excuse for being annoying." We know. He knows. But more importantly, trying to stop being annoying to neurotypical (or even other neurodivergent) people is a sisyphean task. Someone being "annoying" should not upset you that much, and I need you to stop and take a hard fucking look at yourselves if you think neurodivergence needs to be compensated to your comfort level in order to be valid.

With the awful flashbacks Shouto was having, the fight might has well have ended with him as a panicking/disassociating mess in the corner?!

Sure, Izuku is an Anime Protagonist so the rules of mere mortals don't apply to him but bro. Bro.
