I Behave Like This Because I’m Neurodivergent
Neurodivergent fun explained in comics
Here are 4 commonly misunderstood neurodivergent behaviors, explained in comics!
1. Just because I don’t behave in a “fun” way does not mean I can’t have fun. On my own terms.
What does it look like when someone is having fun? I won’t blame you if you say the person should be laughing, talking loudly, interacting with people, and dancing. However, if that person is neurodivergent, their fun can look very different (and maybe even involve a funky dance).
“Relax, have fun!” and “Smile!” are just some of the things I’ve been told over the years at parties. For the longest time, I thought I didn’t know how to have fun.
But internally, I knew exactly what having fun felt like. I knew it whenever I connected with someone over a deep conversation or watched my favorite movie. You could call that being a nerd, but even that was not entirely correct. I’ve always enjoyed the company of other people, but only if they understood me and did not judge me for being different.
