Nona Rose<p>I know that people don’t owe me anything but sometimes I wonder if people use their neurodiversity as an excuse for just being rude. And I say this as someone who is ND myself and has a family full of ND people.</p><p>And I know that part of this is my social anxiety coming into play because maybe they saw my message, were going to respond but got distracted, and the lack of object permanence took over. Maybe they haven’t been ignoring me for over a year.</p><p>But that anxiety gets ramped up every time I see them post about the subject I messaged them about to the point where I’ve had to mute them.</p><p>My anxiety won’t let me not respond to someone I know, even if I haven’t spoken to them in years, even if it’s “hey, saw your message, if you don’t hear back from me in the next week, reach out again” because might forget. I sometimes forget to eat.</p><p>Anyway, happy Friday!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/neurodiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurospicy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocialAnxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialAnxiety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ObjectPermanence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ObjectPermanence</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/distraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distraction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/replying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>replying</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/messaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>messaging</span></a></p>
