[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (3 children) are you neurodivergent or is english a foreign language? for some reason those folks tend to get labeled as bots. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] crackajack@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Not the person you replied to, but I was told I sounded like an anime character. Either i am getting old for reddit, or I spent too much time on academia. I mean, the topic was about politics how else am I going to speak?! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Oh that's a lovely environment to hear and be heard 🙄 permalink fedilink source parent [–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago ¿Por Qué No Los Dos? permalink fedilink source parent [+] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Does it SEEM like I'm neurodivergent (wtf is that anyway, why does everything need a fancy label?), or that English is a second language? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Neurodivergent means anyone with a medical condition that could be seen as brain pathways either being disrupted, or gone, or rerouted. A few examples would be AD(H)D, Autism Spectrum Disorder (Including things such as Asperger's), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Edit: Changed Autism to ASD, and switched out Schizophrenia to OCD as it's more apt for the term as a whole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Guess i just don't get why everything needs a fancy new label every few years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Having proper diagnoses for people help them get care and treatment. It's better than calling them all "stupid" and ignoring their struggles, which has been the case for decades. Most of these "fancy new labels" you're hearing lately are just recognizing people, so they can be included in society and treated with dignity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) According to the prior explanation, they already had labels. ADHD, Autism, etc. But now it's all lumped into "Neurodiverse" or whatever. Sounds like someone trying to impersonalize others. "oh just lump them all together". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Elevator7009@kbin.cafe 6 points 2 years ago A good amount of the conditions lumped together as “neurodiverse” are either comorbid or share some traits. It’s reasonable people with these separate conditions may still want to connect with each other because of the commonalities between them. Nobody’s forgoing the words “ADHD”, “autism”, or “OCD” for the more generic “neurodiverse”, they only use “neurodiverse” in place of “people who have ADHD, autism, OCD, or [insert other conditions here]”. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) In this case, it's mainly a catch-all for folks to easily find help and or others with their conditions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -7 points 2 years ago Yeah, so much easier than being precise in your ailment. permalink fedilink source parent [–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago who am i to judge? permalink fedilink source parent [+] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
