[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a lot of neurodiverse kids are a little dark. it's also considered 'cool' to be so now, and to be 'a little autistic'. My ds is 'a little autistic' so this is a very convenient fact for him. He's not 'dark' per se but he totally gets the darkness and goth stuff and loves wednesday (they all do). He also loves pink and purple stuff though is very straight. Kids are just loving that they can be really wildly authentic and try on different personas to see if they fit. It makes us as parents uncomfortable - or it makes you uncomfortable - bc you feel like it will encourage your child to 'deviate from the norm' in a way they would not otherwise. that may be true but it also may open their eyes to knowing themselves better and being really authentically them as well. either way, it's very typical.

Is it wildly authentic though?  If it changes with trends, that’s hardly authentic.[/quote]

well i think it's trying things on to see what fits. that's more authentic than adhering to a 'norm' imo. [/quote]
