Why does this give me the ick? Is it because it treats neurodivergent as its own diagnosis when it’s just a term to describe people with any number of neurological disorders?

I honestly don’t think OP understands what neurodivergent means. Feels like they had one specific disorder in mind (autism or ADHD most likely) and decided to lump everything else in with their post

Yeah I just reported the post because at best this reads like extreme ignorance of what neurodivergent even means

On the bright side her upvotes have definitely dwindled since I found this so that’s a good sign.

Yeah I ended up quoting this over there pointing out that the “statistic” had no source and that they were treating neurodivergent as a diagnosis not an umbrella term and that seems to have really changed the tide
