    I hate the word “neurodivergent”

    It’s just another way of saying you’re weird. A weirdo. An outsider. Unusual. Abnormal. It’s another playground bully insult but wrapped up in a sciency sounding ‘PC’ coating. Outside of some very specific/niche spaces it’s just used to patronize. “Neurodivergent” requires “neurotypical” to exist, which is just ridiculous. What does that mean? How do you define it and where is the line? Who falls in the category of “neurotypical”? Why is someone who murders people with a drone considered “typical” but I am considered “divergent” because I was abused as a child? It’s entirely arbitrary and just used to uphold the current cultural hegemony.
