When a #[url=https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=neurodivergent]neurodivergent[/url] person tells you about how something is difficult for them, rather than thinking of them as whiny, consider that this probably means they have a certain level of trust in you to drop their mask enough to do so.
Invalidating that struggle is likely also a pretty effective way of eroding that trust.
