Bouncing my leg quietly does not distract others and it grounds me and allows me to concentrate. Or twiddling my thumbs. Or doodling

It labels kids with disabilities as trouble makers without looking for more accommodating alternatives. Besides, kids in general typically have a lot of energy. They’re kids. At some point it becomes less about reducing distractions and more about enforcing this idea of what a perfect kid should look like.

Then you need to have your ears listening and eyes watching the teacher instead. Not my fault silent actions lead to yourself getting distracted.

it’s not as silent as you think bro. You bouncing your leg shakes the whole table no matter how quiet you think you’re being. It’s also very common knowledge that if a room is otherwise still, eyes will move to where there is movement. So even though you think you’re not being distracting, you actually are.

Maybe if your ears were listening then this wouldn’t be an issue Idk(Do you see how everyone is negatively affected? (You’ve never gotten in trouble for being distracted by another student or, worse, the teacher?))

You’re sitting in a room full of people as is. It’s going to be somewhat distracting based off the environment itself already. Even the sound of people writing bothered me sometime but I couldn’t do jacked about it. For people who just can’t learn that way, they need to have other avenues that ensure their success(which there aren’t enough)

Me silently bouncing my leg, at my own table, on my own chair, not shaking anything is not doing anything to you. Just because you can’t control yourself only means you need adderall

No I’ve never gotten in trouble for that because I was a well-behaved kid. There’s a difference between struggling to pay attention and misbehaving.

If a silent leg bouncing can distract you from the very loud instructor, then you cannot control yourself.

no, if you’re bouncing your leg (not silent btw no matter how much you think it is) YOU can’t control yourself.

( well let’s be considerate not every neurodivergent person is autistic or adhd and not every autistic or adhd individual will relate )

I literally crocheted through all my classes (had a note taking accommodation) and that was the best I’ve ever done academically

(throwback to this being like the 7th significant cue that I was some type of neurodivergent and needed support I wasn’t getting, all of which my parents chose to overlook, even as my mother kept joking about me “acting like a [slur]”)
