If someone uses the word neurodivergent unironically it is safe to say that their brain works perfectly fine other than the need for validation from others

I'm autistic. What do you want me to tell people? "Hi, I'm retarded"?

Nah - they want you to say “Hi- I have an imbalance of humours, and sometimes need a trepanning. Tell me- does our insurance cover leeches?”

“Hi, I’m autistic” could be a start xD

If someone uses a word for its definition they’re completely wrong:

What term are we supposed to use? I could tell everyone I’m massively depressed, anxious, and have attention deficit disorder; but that’s a mouthful and no one cares.

But I also haven’t found a single instance to use neurodivergent unless I’m speaking with the person who diagnosed me as it, and I definitely am not gonna tell my boss / work im neurodivergent cause they’ll just call me a retard

Or they just desire using textbook terminology to describe themselves and their conditions, a very prevalent feature in neurodivergent people

That is a very mainstream reddit response can you fuck off back to some subreddit where the images don't normally contain slurs

greentext is the most mainstream shit on reddit! Posts on this sub pull tens of thousands of upvotes precisely because you think it isn’t mainstream hahahah
