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

The JPEG artifacts bothered me (they're even present in the original, unfortunately), so I restored it to its deserved 7-color indexed PNG glory (which has the added bonus of reducing the filesize by ~90% from 42602 bytes to 4733 bytes!):

Since the original is pretty small (489x460) for modern high resolution displays, I also made a version that's might be more conducive to sharing by scaling it up by 2x using nearest-neighbor interpolation—it's literally just the original but with 2x2 pixels and so the original can be recovered losslessly by reversing the process:

Due to the nature of integer scaling pixel art and PNG compression, even though it's 4x the pixels the filesize only increases by ~25%.

For the record, I used ImageMagick to scale like so:

magick input.png -interpolate Integer -filter point -resize 200% output.png

As long as the argument for -resize is a multiple of 100, you'll get a pixel-perfect output. I have a little bash function to handle it:

function pixelscale {
    magick "$1" -interpolate Integer -filter point -resize ${2}00% "${1%.*}_${2}x.${1##*.}"
}

so as long as that gets loaded by your .bashrc all you have to do is type

pixelscale <infile> <integer scale factor>

and it'll handle the rest (e.g. pixelscale image.png 3 will spit out image_3x.png which is nearest-neighbor scaled by 3x).

edit: missed a few errant pixels...fixed.
