“My kids don’t call me anymore and I have no clue why!”

Marzipan Pig :
My parents raised me to be socially acceptable--except, I'm neurodivergent, so all this meant was that I got bullied anyway *plus* I experienced deep shame and self-loathing, and my parents were also ashamed of me for not being socially acceptable. What I know now: We need outliers and weird people. This is part of how an average is calculated. We need people who think differently to share their unique insights. We need each other

My kids thought weird was good. And I encourages it! I taught them acceptance.

She wants to correct the behavior of the "weird" kid, but not the bullies. Got it. 🙄

Have you worked in a middle school setting? You still need to teach kids social norms. Without them they cross boundaries with the other kids and then when the other kids act predictably because they’ve been made to feel uncomfortable the weird kid cries that they’re being bullied. Meanwhile it’s their own actions that triggered the reaction from the other kid. Kids should be able to have individuality and express themselves, but we are a social species and society doesn’t function well without upholding social norms. So there is a middle ground here.

as someone who went undiagnosed in my early years but am autistic with adhd, this rhetoric would have destroyed me. instead, when I was told as a young child that I was really I told my father about it because my feelings were hurt. his response changed everything, he said "well thats quite a compliment! no one wants to be boring and normal" after that anytime I was called weird or it was pointed out I was different I would just smile knowing that meant I'm not boring

as someone who was a weird kid, not being accepted was what hurt me most, and the external pressure to be "normal" never worked

'stop letting your kids be weird' ma'am I have no say in the matter 😆

You need balance. Many “weird” kids simply lack courtesy and social awareness. These are integral to good character. You can still be your own person and defy social norms without showing disrespect or disinterest.

Teacher here. Kids who are just good people (polite, kind, thoughtful, creative, curious, ect) do just fine. Encourage the best of them, and they’ll be the best of us.

“They expect society to behave a certain way. Well the society I wanna live in is a very repressed one, I don’t like different people” is all I heard from her. How sad

My mom wanted me to go to these social activities that I HATED and I thought I’d grow out of it eventually. I don’t want to tell you how old I was before I realized I wasn’t going to change and then embraced myself.

I was a weird kid, who was told to change who I was to fit in by my dad. Guess who I got my autism and ADHD from? I'm so glad my neurodivergent friends are raising proud weird kids now and we're all ending the cycle of shame and conformity.

I work hard to give my kids as much room to be themselves as possible, while having some awareness of the way in which we are perceived affects how we will be treated. So they can dress however they want at home, but they need to be reasonably clean and have clothes the right way round and inside-in when we go out so that people will perceive them as cared for.

This, we should be teaching our kids resilience from bullies, not to cater to their bullshit. It's not weird, but my son is obsessed with pink and Minnie mouse and everytime my poor little bullied heart tries to tell me I'm setting him up for failure I just imagine the look in his eyes if I became the first bully. Not on my watch

Oh yea, sure sure. Raise us to be undiagnosed AuDHD and grow up with SI because we think we’re broken and don’t understand. Oh, and why tf is is socially acceptable to be taken advantage of? Someone explain that to me. Be polite and helpful? I’d be Ted Bundy’s victim.
