US Politics on Yik Yak | The problem with “self diagnosis” isn’t that it’s rampant or “making people use disability to their advantage”. It’s that people become desensitized to the real issues that impact disability and we use bad words to describe them.

My neurodivergence isn’t my “whimsy” or “superpower”. It’s how my brain works. It can cause problems, and give me limited advantages. I’m not a child, I’m a grown adult who has a medical condition. Just like having a heart problem or cancer.
