Daily Discussion Thread

This will be unpopular but I really felt for Jessie last night. As a neurodivergent woman myself I genuinely think she is ND too. She was struggling so much to articulate herself to Casey and misses a lot of social cues. A few other reasons I think it:

  • Having a ‘monotone’ or ‘flat’ voice is very common with ND individuals.

  • She also seems to take a while to process things- like finding out Will wasn’t loyal and she was consoling him rather than reacting before the absolute meltdown she has when she actually processed it.

  • Struggles with emotional regulation. People say she overreacted to Casa but to me she looked so overwhelmed emotionally and couldn’t regulate herself at all.

  • Being like a deer in headlines in social situations and getting frustrated when she can’t express her point properly.

  • Other’s describing her as ‘weird.’ She is very quirky in general.

  • I have Tourette’s and my mum was saying about her constant nose scrunching looking like a tic that I do and how she notices that it worsens when she’s stressed in the same way my tics do.

Not trying to armchair diagnose her but I feel like she is very misunderstood in there and is really struggling socially.
