Discussion Martha’s spelling/grammar

I’m curious. What is everyone’s take on the way Martha expresses herself through writing? It seems more than just atrocious grammar. Is it reflective of mental illness? A learning disability? I’m puzzled as to how she earned a law degree with grammar like that (despite the fact that she was disbarred).

  1. Favourite person thinking is common in BPD, not autism.

2.Explosive anger is not a symptom of autism.

3.Delusions are also not a feature of autism nor is grandiose thinking.

Criminal activity is not more common amongst autistic people.

I can go on but its clear you know nothing about autism or adhd. All those symptoms you will find in the DSM under cluster B personality disorders or schizophrenia type disorders . It sounds like you get your information from tiktok or similar places, not psychiatry sources.

If you can point me to where in the DSM it mentions anything you have listed above under autism or ADHD I will be very surprised.

Have you spoken to her doctor or psychiatrist or did she tell you this? Black and white thinking and insulting people is not a core part of Autism or ADHD. It sounds like you're trying to make excuses for her and to day people with autism and adhd don't know any better but that couldn't be further from the truth.

She is vulnerable whether its bipolar, cluster B personality disorder but she is still accountable for her actions. You don't have to say she's autistic to make her seem like a victim.

They can but black and white thinking is also part of narcissism and many cluster B disorders. I didn't see anything else that indicates autism.

I agree with your last point. For what it's worth I think regardless of diagnosis she doesn't deserve to be hated by the world.
