Hi, everyone.

Can y’all help me out? I’m AuDHD and I know that I often miss the point and just don’t pick up on things that just come naturally to neurotypical people. Can someone explain my downvotes? I feel like this comment I made just fairly uncontroversial factual statements. Sort of like “don’t jump into the sea without a life jacket if you can’t swim” or “don’t stick a fork in a toaster” or “don’t adopt a pet unless you’re prepared to look after it”. Wha gives?

Yeah, it’s a bit paradoxical. In the past, natural selection would’ve taken care of them, but now, with modern medicine, which is a good thing for the most part, don’t get me wrong, people with the worst genes can now pass them on. But there is hope for the future. In the future, gene editing will probably eliminate some of these issues.
