Ultimately the movement for equality will survive petty word problems like this. So its not the biggest deal in the world. Whatever words people use, I'm glad that people are having more conversations about it. But i still wish people would use the words as originally intended. Because of all the stuff i just said but secretly mostly because thats just what the fucking words mean its brain different versus brain variety versus brain common and i dont get how people get it so wrong when the guide to which word is which is RIGHT THERE

I basically consider it a lost cause at this point, and i believe that the meaning of words is how their used and all that, so I'm not fighting against it too hard and creating unnecessary conflict. However

I am really perplexed by the usage of neurodivergent vs neurodiverse. It just seems like a very simple and clear distinction, i dont get how and why people are using them interchangably/using neurodiverse for both.

The word constructions seem very simply to me

Neuro = brain

Typical = common/normal

Divergent = unusual/different

Diverse = a wide variety
