What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Yo, I can just say, chill. Other people, including NTs, are not important enough to get upset about. Also, sure, interactions are not understandable for you, but they are to them. Who really is "right" then? It doesn't matter. You just gotta accept the reality of it and do the best with it.
I'm right generally, fuck NTs for their utterly incomprehensible social rituals with no logical basis at all.
In this specific case though I'm not hating on anyone, it just bugs me intensely that A) I might be sending signals to people without even knowing it, B) I can't perceive things enough to interact. I do really like people actually, or else I wouldn't spend so much time yapping online =) and fwiw I usually do try not to worry about it.
Just interpreted the "screeching rn" as you being actually upset. If that's not the case, that's good :)
Idk, I experience A+B too, but I just don't really make them my problem. If someone misunderstands something, I just ignore it unless it's something really important, and there are rarely really important things.
Well it does bug me when I get alerted to shit like that plays into REJECTION SENSITIVITY
oh boy!!! Same as not making them my problem, that works great and it's fine for me until they cause a scene about it for whatever reason 
Yep, rejection sucks. Until you understand that they're the problem, not you, then "rejection" is just a good filter for yourself. They're filtering themselves out so you don't have to deal with their shittiness.
All the more when they cause a scene. I usually just walk away. Idk about you, how old you are, which social situation you're in, but it's interesting how much you can just walk away from that you never thought you could. Most of the time they either respect you more or don't try their shit anymore because they know it doesn't work on you.
Anyway, I wish you lots of happiness and good interactions instead :)
