Dude fuck that mentality y'all can budge what is considered "normal" 2 fucking inches once in a while for neurodivergent people

If 'normal people' had to put in the effort that autistic/ADHD/mood disorder having people have to put into everyday life they would bitch and moan and complain every day

Share the fucking space instead of making your way the only acceptable default lol

Right? Asking the "normals" to just accept a bit of weirdness and effort when interacting with you that's suddenly way too much to ask and you should really consider just being more mindful of them.
