RE: "Neurospicy" or Neurodivergent?

in #education2 months ago

I did not know those symbols existed and I love them XD

even though I will never use them - I'm the infinity butterfly and the broken calculator - I might use the inifinity butterfly because I like butterflies

The first time I heard "neurospicy" was from someone else spicy and I definitely didn't take offence to it XD very much the opposite in fact (I find it cute and funny and much more fun than neurodivergent without losing accuracy/meaning). The spicies I know and their families and the psych clinics they use seem to use/prefer that to neurodivergent (but still might have to use neurodivergent in papers (I am very behind on a lot of reading so I d on't actually know what's in scientific papers these days).

I personally prefer "glitchy" will describe issues as "glitches" and anything happening as "glitching"/"glitched" and while most people have been amused by it there have been some that prefer to be offended

I guess the usual "it depends" on who's getting offended, but I think some people (regardless of whether they're affected by something or not) just want to see negative connotations in everything so they can be outraged about it.

I wonder if those people also get upset over spoon theory (which I'm reasonably sure is actually a metaphor/analogy not a theory but theory just rolls off the tongue nicer I guess)

Thank you so much for replying! I was really hoping to hear from actual people who could use one of the terms. It really helps to know that you see it as as a safe way to describe yourself. That is what I'm hoping for. I just want to show kids that I see and value them.
