Ep 56 AA Shames Speaking Out As A ‘Defect’ #CultyComments
Manage episode 486201242 series 3572309
AA made “obsession” a bad word — but for many of us (autistic, ADHD, neurodivergent), deep focus is just how our brains work.
My work since 2012 has been to solve a major problem I went through then turn around and guide others through it on social media and in paid online courses. This is literally my job. So to call me "obsessed" with my current topic is like calling a barista obsessed with coffee, or a McDonald's worker obsessed with hamburgers.
It's like, Bro, why you gotta pathologize work? And why make my natural wiring a "character defect?"
But it's obvious why -- because it's not about "obsession," it's about AA. When you believe the AA ideology you can't tolerate those who don't and dare claim their story and voice. It feels like a threat. But that doesn't mean those who leave should stay anonymous and have no support. We deserve better.
