The kind where if you have to be around people you feel more comfortable in a group than with just one other person?

I get nervous around “dead air” if I’m with people so if I’m the only other person I feel pressure to be interesting and it’s exhausting. If there’s a group of people it’s not so bad because it divides the responsibility of being entertaining around all of us so I don’t have to worry if I’m boring. I can just chill and let other people talk.

Plus I find I’m better at bouncing off of others than initiating conversation.

Exaggerating a bit but basically an oxidizing source of chlorine (pool chemical, specifically the one that makes your eyes red) and a source of nitrogen (urine) could make nitrogen trichloride, an incredibly sensitive explosive. Incredibly unlikely to happen because A: it’s incredibly sensitive, so much so that a slight change in the amount of light can set it off and it would probably react at incredibly small and unnoticeable amounts B: you’d need to get a really high concentration for it to cause anything significant C: the reaction has to happen in the first place, and there’s lots of other things in pools that those ingredients could bond with instead

I’d put the odds of it happening at higher than splitting an atom accidentally while biting into a sandwich, but probably lower than thoroughly shuffling a deck of cards and them being in the same order as pre-shuffle

For the record, I’m not a chemist, this is 3 am YouTube rabbit hole info from watching haha funny Aussie man make it. Also obligatory “don’t try this at home” for obvious reasons since looking at it weird can cause it to go boom

What is Neurodivergence?

It’s ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we’re concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven’t personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you’re ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another’s, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who’s experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm’d.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don’t be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
