"Double-neurodiverse"? Look I'm all for more acceptance and understanding of me and my ND homies, but I'm pretty sure you only get the buff effect once no matter how many conditions with that flag you have; it doesn't stack.
Lol @ referring to it as the buff 🤣
the suicide rates for some comorbidities do have an additive effect though. the debuffs stack.
And many are on a spectrum. Its more complex than just stacking or independent of each other. Some may be linked traits that we dont understand yet.
Two separate ND diagnoses, but yeah I agree this doesn't make it double.
Yes, if someone is pregnant with twins, they are stil pregnant. Not double pregnant. It’s more to handle but it’s not a seperate pregnancy.
What an elegant analogy!
But it does mean that the meat mech has double occupancy more akin to Pacific Rim, rather than a single pilot design akin to Battletech.
Meat mech mom could be a band name.
Sounds like a grunge band name circa 2003.
...I thing double-extra pregnant is amazing, and love it.
Double extra pregnant is the last week and when youre overdue waiting....
Maybe the second diagnosis isn't multiplicative.
gotta min max my ND buffs yaknow
Yeah, right? I have a diagnoses both mental and physical that qualify me as "disabled," but I haven't seen a box I get to tick anywhere yet that says "super disabled"
If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself
Nah, being non verbal is it's own extra challenge.
It's the other end of the spectrum from "extremely normal"
In my experience, people with multiple disabilities (MS + UC for instance) call themselves "twice blessed."
It's humorous, if that's unclear.
I actually think it depends on order and priority 🤓
Jokes aside, I think it’s a fine term given the large differences between the two forms of ND he has.
Fine, but I wanna be super mega doubleplus extra neuro-ultra-diverse (/s, in absence of a trollface emoji 😂)

It’s great when you melt cheese between the layers. I prefer to add onions as well for extra crunch and flavor.
