This is an example of how nureo diversity in women is often written off as “personality traits.”
Of my issues is that I have a lot of dyspraxia, and that causes me to drop things, be klutzy, and awkward. This was written off as “me just being me” and what quirky fun person I was (who would actually chose to drop things and fall? That’s not cute, or fun for me at all.)
With my ADHD I often am not aware of where I put things, and as a child I lost a lot vital objects such as keys, my favorite coat, my backpack, etc. This was written off as me being weird/quirky again. I still miss that lovely blue coat I wore to school at age 7 and never came home with.

With my intense sensory issues, I had limited clothing and shoe options and everyone assumed I just had a different style and was “making a statement” when it was really was about what my brain could stand touching me.
I was sort of written off as a manic pixie dream girl I guess, even at age 7.
On one hand it was nice that people just accepted these things about me instead of shamming me for them. However it was frustrating that they thought I was in control of them, and misunderstood who I was. I don’t think it’s cute to awkward and klutzy and I don’t it on purpose to get attention or look cute. I’d rather people just don’t dwell on it, and move on. Kind of like if you notice someone has a pimple, or a rash, you don’t assume it’s “part of their personality” and talk about cute it makes them.
