So frustrating. So many years of good work, safeguarding humans and the environment. I hope we can recover once he’s gone….hopefully he’ll be gone

I have seen the uprise of this kind of attitude..the rules don’t apply to me…coupled with either who gives a shit about why the rule is in place. A lot of people don’t give a shit so it’s up to the ones who do. Thanks for saying something to them.

I agree and thank you for this call out/reminder - we need balance perspectives and thoughtful reflection….get away from fear-based group-think

I hope though, you find a community that gets you. We are connecting my son with a virtual neurodivergent group, who meets virtually on a regular basis. I think it’ll be helpful for him to know others who live it, who get him.

I am NT (I think), my son has ADHD and generalized anxiety. He struggles with this and I think I understand. However it’s not always at the forefront of my mind, which makes it challenging to support him some times. Other NTs don’t get it and just throw their hands up, claiming it’s β€œtoo hard”.
