hot take of the week: I am so tired of the word neurodivergent. like if you’re constantly bringing that up in conversation or when it’s not explicitly relevant, you should just admit you want attention and think you’re special. as someone who is ND.

for context an example is like “get ready with me as a neurodivergent girl!” and she just talks about how shes self diagnosed with something that she clearly doesnt actually have OR something she does have but is minor or not really relevant at all and shes just farming for interaction from people who love labels and use way too many of them eg “grwm as a queer neurodivergent fae/faeself aro therian”

exactly. like im tired of seeing it used as a buzzword too much, like we don’t need to be talking about how our brains don’t work right like it’s a flex. its not a flex and you don’t need to talk about it to everyone you meet
