so this one girl, i’ll call her ella (19f) is transphobic, homophobic
she lashes out a lot, exaggerates things, and cannot read social cues. however, she has autism and adhd and is mentally much younger.
she also gets mad when i call a trans man “he” and she says “SHE’S A GIRL EVEN THO SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN LOL”
she says she got her views from her parents and refuses to change because “it’s the way i am”. for someone who was mentally 19, I’d cut contact, but she’s mentally a lot younger.
I mean cut em some slack sure, but don’t feel responsible for her actions. It’s good that you realise it and as someone with ADHD it’s immensely helpful when someone points out obvious things I’m doing wrong.
Executive mental functions thats seemingly normal for you could be impossible for them sometimes. Expect someone like that act matured in another 10 years, unless they fall off a ‘cliff’.
Usually society would spit them out much earlier
