i do not believe these words should be abandoned!
in this post i hope to call attention to the same destructive processes happening to “neurodiverse” as to all the other terms. particularly i want to call out the ableist motivations behind it. my intent is to critique society’s weaponization of words, not the words themselves.
IDK, but I saw that being used within autistic communities first. At least for a while, which would explain this meme.
Yeah, it was sadly a very quick development/devolvement from “cutesy term used by the ASD community” to “swap-in for the r-slur used by 99% of gen z internet.” something like a matter of months.
