When a #neurodivergent person tells you about how something is difficult for them, rather than thinking of them as whiny, consider that this probably means they have a certain level of trust in you to drop their mask enough to do so.

Invalidating that struggle is likely also a pretty effective way of eroding that trust.

@me did you ever notice that when you say, "this is difficult for me. can you explain it again/help me through the process/give me more time to accept?", the non-nd person immediately interprets it as an excuse to *not* do something?
