Yeah I'm not a fan of the terms "neuro-divergent" because it implies that people like me are just "Quirky" and don't suffer from them. I hate it. I am mentally handicapped.
I'd much rather people fight for proper treatment of special education students in schools to help them succeed rather than what words offend their feelings or whatever.
There's a video on helping mentally handicapped students as early as the 50s and even they know that you can't just say " 🌈 you're special the way you are UwU" and leave it at that, like they do today.
