Regular reminder that being an asshole is not a symptom of any form of neurodivergence. (You can replace “neurodivergent” with depressed, anxious, bipolar, etc. and the diagram works equally well)

ETA: social faux pas, awkwardness, and genuine symptoms of neurodivergence don’t make you an asshole. I shouldn’t have to say this? An “asshole” is someone who enacts a pattern of abusive, controlling, harassing, and/or harmful behavior with no remorse or concern for how other people are affected.

    If I had a nickel for every time someone says “this person’s being a huge jerk to me but I think they might be neurodivergent”

    Then I would have zero cents

      Yeah, but how many nickels would you have?

        As it turns out, also zero.

        The trick is to divide by 5. The trick of that is double it and divide by 10.
