If everyone is neurodivergent, then nobody is. Who the fuck is deciding what is “neurotypical” anyway? Fuck you, nobody has to follow your bullshit standards.

Fun fact of the day: Neurodivergent and neurotypical are not used in medical, academic, research, or legal fields. Other than recent publications using them to relate to younger audiences bc of its use in pop culture. These terms were literally invented by an ableist “advocacy” group that denies ADHD as a disability requiring accommodation, but instead a super power and a gift. The actual validated term is neurodiverse, coined by Judy Singer, who does wonderful work.

Remember when there was like 49134 sexualities we were supposed to acknowledge? This is just the new thing I get to ignore

Hell, even the adhd SUBREDDIT of all places banned the use of neurodivergent until recently for this exact reason. It’s meaningless, and harmful. But TikTok armchair psychologists revolted and the subreddit caved, so now it’s allowed. But before that their auto mod deleted it and redirected you to information about the bastardization of Judy Singer’s work

I don’t see how getting yourself worked up over imagined wrongs would be a blessing

I don't see how getting off on choosing to be an asshole is a personality.

How tf am I being an asshole by pointing out that there were never thousands of sexualities being pushed down people’s throats by liberals? Acting like this was true is just some cringy boomer shit that’s better for Facebook than here
