People do it both ways. This isn't an ND thing.

Seriously, why do some people seem to insist that every single behavioral trait is ND?

They're seeing things in themselves that are different from (what they correctly or mistakenly perceive as) the "norm". Since most NDs have experienced being scolded, ridiculed, shamed, ostracised for being "different", some over and over again, for all their life, they've internalised that the "weird" thing is their fault, that there's something inherently wrong with them. Recontextualising a (new) "weird" thing as a consequence of their neurodivergence makes it not their fault or at least lessens the feeling of "wrong". ... I keep saying "they" as if I don't catch myself doing it.

No, no I've seen many a North Dakotan do this.

I look up and right then roll to up and left. Are there people that actually do a full circle?

Who the hell is so weak that simply rolling their eyes results in FUCKING MOTION SICKNESS??!!??

i think if i just laid there and rolled my eyes for weeks i might be sick. is that what they meant?

wait wait wait people actually just look up??? like i thought that it was always the second one. i guess the explanation helps, cause I defo didn't see it when I first heard it lol
