Psychiatrist advice be like

tumblr users discovering a lot of the diagnoses in DSM is pure bullshit made up by degree havers just to have a reason to take away your freedom, paint me shocked!

like sorry but they keep making up new shit to that degree haver bible that's just often normal behavior (ie ODD just being able to oppose something you dont like) and yall gulp that up like a gourmet meal

as much as i hate to say it psychiatry will suck forever and one of the best things you can do is refuse to use the system

silly brain flag!

silly brain is a term to be used for all neurodivergent and/or mentally ill people who think their brain is silly! this term is pro-madpunk/mad pride and doesn't exclude any illness/nd flavor from it.

hot pink - sillyness is smile!! full of fun! dandellion yellow - default emoji color, and emojis are silly! washed-out cyan - the brain is full of sparkles and dreams! green - sillyness is part of nature! purple - just like royalty, silly brain rulez!

If you want to call yourself "madpunk", "cripplepunk", "neuropunk", etc, your activism better not stop at the things you find "bad". People with no empathy. People with personality disorders. People who need their aids in daily life. People who have extreme fluctuating emotions. People with paraphilias. People with dissociative disorders. Psychotic people. People who have different modes of eating, excreting, having sex, etc. Homeless people. People who wear diapers. People who have violent urges/thoughts. People who you think are "dangerous". People who use drugs. People who need medication to survive and live. People with physical deformities. People who have delusions. People who struggle with feeding themselves, cleaning, working, etc.

If you think any of these factors make someone "abusive", you are ableist. Abusers are abusive. None of the above things make someone an abuser.

Madpunk and cripplepunk aren't just "adhd and autism punk". Or "mobility aid user punk". Keep that in mind.
