being both physically and mentally disabled really allowed me to realise how awful of a term "neurospicy" is. it reminds me of being called "differently abled" in reference to my physical disabilities, like you're beating around the bush trying to find a 'nicer way' to mention something so integral to my being as if the thing in question is bad and needs to be sugar-coated. it's disrespectful.
just tell it like it is. I am disabled. I am physically disabled. I am mentally disabled. you don't need to come up with these bollocks new terms to say that. disabled is not a bad word. stop treating it like it is.
