Well many social cues and stuff is very difficult for some
And depends
Okay. You are probably misunderstanding me lol. I meant, I don't have any of those things. Even if I did, I don't want to know about it. I see myself as just a normal Nd also weird person
But u asked what if u had those
Or said
So it made me assume u wondered
Well then be proud who ur
Oh my bad
I was like I could have it since I have never been to a doctor to check stuffs like that
But since I don't care and I'm just living my life
I don't see a need to know if I had something like that
I see
Well i hope i could give answer u seeked the only thing is many dont always seeing everything of things so good to be clear ig
I dont have anything else to say
Oh, it's fine lol
Why I started the whole hottake was just that even though I don't know if someone as those things I still relate well with them so I didn't get the whole point of labels
I see
Yeah. Let's say I tell you I had ADHD. You are probably going to talk to me in a way with that in mind
Rather than this dude is just a different person
Not really
I talk to everyone equally
No matter what they have
Everyone is different and its normal knowledge to know
Isnt that more a reflection on you that you have difficulty adjusting to different people
But also some can do talk different if they view only the adhd perspective
Like lets say they think they have behave different
Nope. I don't have a problem talking with different people since I don't need to know why they are different
And they accidentally make someone mad
Then the person just dont wanna see them again
Like i dont like if someone view my disability only as person i have many capability so if someone is like doing something there then its just anger i guess
Baby talk is the worst anyone ever does
Idk if anyone done way worse to others
But Ill say that behaving normally even if
People have something
Is the correct way
So i dont get the problem of them sharing a 'label' with u then?
It happens when you go by a label, it serves as a means for people to understand why you do the things you do but that can also make some people see you only through that Len rather than you just being different
Yeah
Yes but thats annoying
Cause it would change how I relate with the person
Even if u would have Disability different
Right and if people need to know every info about u
Even disability
Then whats point
How does that change the way u relate to them
Well, I don't know what ADHD(checked once for forgot lol) let's just say it was like you can't focus on something. And anytime that happens when we talk I would try to relate it to that label. But if I don't know, I would just see it as you being different
So why is it bad you have an explanation for that label
Surely that just makes things make more sense about a person
Yeah. It does help me understand the person and same time can reduce my view on you to just that
I think I prefer no knowing
