I hate the word neurodivergent so much. When did people start using this word?

Like bro, you're regarded it's okay

It's also funny because it always means autism or ADHD.

Now, it sorta fits because autism, in it's mildest forms, isn't *really* a disorder. It has it's advantages and it's disadvantages and if managed well you can have a full life that just looks funny to people on the outside. You can't really medicate it, since it's basically personality+, and it can be debilitating without proper support, but it's not the worst thing on the planet. I think "neurodivergent", as an explanation for how it's basically a completely different way of thinking, fits quite well.

ADHD, despite what everyone's dad says, is a genuine disorder. At least if you were correctly diagnosed. It fucking sucks and can *really* fuck up your life and probably has been fucking your life up since grade school.  Neurodivergence feels like an insult in this case.

A caveat:Both of these disorders can rapidly lead into anxiety and depression, which are not "neurodivergence" either. Those are full blown disorders.

I'd still rather have both instead of OCD or BPD or whatever, or any of those disorders which make you essentially unironically evil, but still.
