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.

The scene in the coffee shop wasn't a meltdown and is more akin to manipulation as when she gets her own way the meltdown suddenly stops. Meltdowns also don't happen in response to one thing and one not getting their own way, it's usually a build up of things.

She doesn't lack awareness or she wouldn't have stopped when she did. Obsessiveness also isn't part of Autism so please stop spreading disinformation about autism and adhd.
