    This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard in my life.

    In particular if I am online and neurotypical toxic people are thrown off by my ADHD, the VERY FIRST THING they do in their intellectual laziness is assume I am a kid.

    The idea that this isn’t considered an explicit oppression of neurodivergent adults is laughable to me. These systems will police for neurodivergence, not age. The obvious response from the center will be “just don’t act like a kid then” and I would like to send a pre-emptive “go fuck yourself you are destroying everything” to those people.

      If I were an AI guessing your age based on this comment… I would estimate your age to be somewhere in the 25-35 range.
