questions for neurodivergents

hello there, i have a question for neurodivergent persons, i'm also adding an example:


imagine A is talking to B about a serious topic aka save their health, and C is suddenly deciding to cut them and talk over to say "nevermind, today i just ranted on phone because-"


i heard that neurodivergent people tends to interrupt others, tho in my post i'm not here to blame C actions at all, what i wanna focus on and ask something about is on A and B feelings:

are they allowed to feel hurt by this behavior?


usually when someone talks over you, you have right to not like it, but here since the person doesn't have the same input,

can others show their discomfort or will this look ableist to their condition so we have to let it pass but then repress our feelings to adapt?


i'm sorry if the question is dumb, it's just that the only neurodivergent person i was close to abused me by using her mental health so no i have a harder time knowing when i can tell about my boundaries. i also wonder a lot recently if i am not nd myself by looking through my past experiences, i asked a few people about their traits to know more.


and so in the example i gave what is the best way to react? for example i just said something like "oh wait i finish and let's go i'm listening to you!😊" is it the right way? because i don't know if it's too infantilizing not to tell C at all about this move, but also i don't wanna be like "you have to let people talk" almost grounding them because it sounds harsh, or talk even more over them


please educate me!
