Tell me about it, I vibe with most of her content. Do I agree with everything no, but I also think she lacks social skills and she explains this too.

I do think she on the spectrum...respectful. she admits it herself that she neurodivergent

When I see stuff like this I always wonder if the person in question has an actual diagnosis or are they just declaring it 'cause they watched a few tiktok videos and suddenly "it's all so clear now..." or are they using it to excuse their asshole-ish behavior so they never have to change.

I have several relatives that have been medically diagnosed as either being on spectrum for autism or Asperger Syndrome, including my two youngest. I also have two people in my family who have watched a bunch of tiktoks that believe they're autistic despite never ever being diagnosed and when you tell them to go get a diagnosis they get mad on some "I don't need no doctor to tell me nuffin, I know what I got!" shit.

I no longer entertain the idea that someone is on spectrum if they've never been formally diagnosed.

I mean I get that, but u can still have social issues and not have been diagnosed,

Have you ever spoken with for lack of better word ... nerds lol. I think that term is outdated

But especially in the various workplaces I've been in you see people who's abilities to socially engage with coworkers is way off. Their social cues and things most of us pick up on they don't. Like the show the Big Bang theory. The character Sheldon...I have met people way worst than that. We take as oh u just get out much , but I think it's deeper.

Super smart or talented but it gets lost in translation. I don't think individuals with clear symptoms of autism are the only people who have it.

And I am not talking just a socially awkward person, a little deeper than

But I do think the crying and over defending is extra.

As someone who does enjoy her content, sis is super smart and educated, a Lil funny but the clap backs on a national forum ..ehh

Like recently I get it she was let go of her contract with radio one because of her saying Genocide in reference to Palestinian/Isreal war. The owners of the business apparently are Jewish ✡️. And maybe she felt she needed to address her listeners, I actually liked her morning radio show, very informative. But idk I feel she give ppl ammo lol.


I get her not wanting to compromise her beliefs or her freedom of speech, but i don't if I agree with how she moved . She was with the radio company for two years and they vetted her.

But her move now is fully independent which she needs if she gonna forge her own lane.

It's like she knows shit is unfair and keeps going into spaces where the unfairness is blatant and then mad or shocked when it happens.

But I respect her passion and how it seems she stands on what she believes in

All of that is why you get a formal diagnosis.

As for the nerd part, I was one of the biggest nerds you could find back inna day. I went to a gifted school when I was young, and in a school of over achievers, I was THE over achiever. Socially awkward? As a kid, hell yeah, the difference between me and some of my nerd brethren was that I had a desire to be less socially awkward and learned to adapt. I had to dumb it down to be able to communicate with my peers and make friends on the block. Most people like me don't get out much and they don't interact much with people they've deemed to be intellectually inferior to them unless they absolutely have to. So what some believe presents as being on spectrum is really being of high intelligence and having no desire to take it down a notch in order to fit in with the rest of society.

I just can't believe it due to so many things at play that molds a person's personality.

Religion, Trauma , Disabilities , media, family, friends and a whole list of others.

She seems to be more "smart" than "intelligent".

Wait... Einstein's IQ was only 160???

*doing mah googles*

Damn... so my IQ far exceeds Einstein's??? I never knew that. Puts a bit of perspective on why my folks put so much pressure on me to do "something great" with my life.

She seems very draining and exhausting to be around

The two family members I have claiming to be autistic with no diagnosis are extremely exhausting to be around. Once they start talking shits is like a living walking internet outrage factory just spewing nothing but InstaTwitTok nonsense in the air.
