When you're neurodivergent, your brain works a little bit differently from others. It might be a bit busier, louder, and more/less focused than others'. Research shows that about one in five people in the world are neurodivergent. And we here at Bored Panda think that they should be represented appropriately in the meme world.
Recently, we went through the most popular neurodivergent meme spaces on the internet, like r/autismmemes, r/OCDmemes, and the Neurodivergent Squad page on Instagram. We collected the funniest and most relatable ones and put them all together in this list. Check them out and let us know how many made your neurodivergent brain tingle!

This Is So Real

Happens so many times. Others have a sense of how to immediately continue the conversation flow seamlessly. By the time the conversation stops long enough that I could add what I had, it’s turned to a whole new direction and what I had would be out of place.

Not Getting Diagnosed As A Child
Phantom Phoenix 3 hours ago
This is why it's "trendy" to have a diagnosis. It's better headspace to 'own' that (& hopefully get tools/appropriate assistance/medication) than to be down the self-flagellation rabbit hole of trying to not be a mutant (X-men reference)...

Thought You Guys Would Relate To This :))

So true. I'm autistic. My son thinks I'm extremely funny, but only because of things I don't mean to be funny. But I'm old enough now that I'll understand after the fact why he thinks it's funny, so I'll get a laugh out of it, too. But my intentional jokes are so weird only my late father and Carl from middle school ever thought it was funny.

Found This Meme
Rick Murray 34 minutes ago
You get brought up to keep everything inside, don't be weird, don't be bothersome, shut up already.... and now I'm practically emotionally flatline. I feel things, but only within myself. And mostly irritation. The emotions I do make visible are mostly fake, a mimicry of what others are doing (because being 😐 all the time makes people say some quite insulting things).

I do things like this too. THIS is the text for TSA. You need to organize collored lozenges correctly and answer a bunch of stupid questions while in a dark room and cant look at the second person in the room. After I did that interview I lost my taste for Federal Service. Its joining a cult.

This Is Absolutely A Thing
Marnie 6 hours ago
Yeah. I've worked at the same place for 18 years. I found out three years ago that everyone takes all their paid sick time. If they haven't used it up being sick towards the end of the year, they just take it off as PTO. All the managers know. BUT NOBODY TOLD ME I COULD DO THAT. I only took it when sick (and for the first 8 years, I would almost always work a Saturday to make it up anyway). I figure I'm owed at least 30 days off.

And Please Not The Big Light First
Rick Murray 5 minutes ago
Some people at work understand that if I'm taking my break in a room alone with the lights off, it's by intention. Sometimes they'll say something like "oh, my niece does that". Other people will come and turn the light on when they aren't even planning on using that room - "somebody is there so light must be on" is the entirety of their thought process. 😡

Easy To Say
Spidercat 2 hours ago (edited)
But Lisa in an infinite universe all things are possible until they don't happen. It is really very, if not extremely, difficult to ignore things that don't happen. It goes on everywhere all of the time. Stuff just going around not happening. It's very disconcerting...if anything, more things haven't happened than have happened so they're in the majority.

You guys need to make friends with a Triple A Battery (Autism, Anxiety and ADHD). They left the stove on and are worried about it being on but they need it on because they are cooking and that's how cooking happens. They will probably remember to turn it off but not at the right time...

Pretend I Wrote Something Funny
Spidercat 3 hours ago
When I was 4 years old I solomly went to my mother to explain that I had a wheel from my Matchbox car stuck up my nose and couldn't get it out. She counted the 4 wheels on the car and told me I was wrong. This went on for around 3 hours. Back and forth back and forth between 4 year old me and mother. I eventually got frustrated and shouted "STEERING WHEEL" and then off to A&E we went to get it removed. It had broken off from inside the toy car and had been stuck up my nose the whole time. I was utterly, totally and perfectly correct that I had a wheel up my nose and genuinely couldn't understand why my mother didn't care. This is what it's like. (I say this for those of you here to try and understand).

Excuse Me What
Marnie 6 hours ago
I actually to this day do not know what people mean by "roll their eyes". As far as I know, I've never seen anyone do it. I only know when it's being done in a very exaggerated way in some movie, where the character is very consciously showing that they are rolling their eyes (in a sarcastic or comedic sense).

Imagine a man in his mid forties who has lived with over 18 different cats since he was born. Now imagine they all, every single one of them, got fed with the same fork. (It's me. My first cat Timothy was part of my family before I was. I still have that fork.) It is the cat food fork. I don't need any more cat food forks because that one works fine and always has.
