    1. Wrong spectrum disorder.
    2. As someone with ADHD I wish I could get by without Adderall or similar stimulant. Even with stimulants, life is a fucking challenge. Struggling to listen to conversations that are important to you to only wind up thinking about another task or interest and getting lost in thought.

    Hell, just yesterday I walked inside while gardening to grab some tools from a toolbag that was left inside, while repeatedly saying out loud what I was doing. Got to the bag, and completely forgot why I was inside even though I had said why 3 seconds before and had to close my eyes and focus for 10 seconds before it came back to me. And this is a regular occurance that happens a dozen times or more a day WITH MEDICATION.

    The side effects of aderrall aren’t the most pleasant either. But the benefits of having some level of control of my brain, reducing the number of times thoughts drift away, and much much more, I take them. And I am somebody with mild-moderate ADHD issues.

    Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

    I’m neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I’ve got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

    But one thing my neuro divergence doesn’t grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

    Yes, but when there’s literally thousands of posts and comments to build the “between the lines” data within a 30-day time frame what excuse is there?

    When somebody is trolling so hard that it’s causing strife within your community it should be addressed. Identify the behavior that isn’t desired and enforce existing rules around it or create a new one and warn the person that they need to operate in good faith within the rules or they will be ousted as an antagonistic troll.

    Nah. I’ve dealt with these kind of people since BBSs. They’re trolls and get a kick out of the responses.

    They usually have multiple “hidden” agendas.

    First and foremost is to get a rise out of people to get engagement so their message resonates negatively and then is surfaced and viewed by the impressionable.

    Second is to cause strife within the community.

    Third is to get that strife to get people to shift to their viewpoint

    I think the bigger issue here is the indiscriminate obvious trolling.

    The fact that it took “bad judgment” and not the reading between the lines for their sealioning and bad faith arguments and faux “friend” comments points towards the need for strengthening our community standards.

    Allowing people to come in and troll under the guise of “I’m following the rules lolololol” makes the mods look like rubes.
