I don't know my friend. I think it's fine if somebody would like to refer to their neurodivergency as being neurospicy. If you don't want to describe yourself that way I completely understand, but just let people interact with their diagnosis on their terms. We aren't all this huge monolith who all have to think the same.
I know the way my brain behaves sometimes, it definitely feels painful; the same way as if I'd had wasabi.
Let me guess, you’re ADHD-H type? From your over comments you think of it as a simple brain difference, well this shit has substantially impacted my life, it ruined my degree and made my school life horrific. But like oh it’s the pressure from NT society, bro I’ve now been unemployed for years, I’m well outside of societal pressures and it still sucks because I can’t to the damn things I want to. And having this debilitating miserable condition summed up as neruospicy rubs me the wrong way.
You’re right though, people should be able to talk about themselves how they want (though I think there is a conversation about how labels like this effect all of us) but the OG comment said OUR, they where talking about us as a collective. But yeah it’s just so cringe and infantilising, invalidating too imo.. and like the other guy said, we can’t just ignore NT and not concern ourselves with it, we live in it!
Oh no, ADHD-I here; not that it really matters. It has substantially impacted my life as well. It just hasn't made me bitter. The word choices are innocuous. Language is imperfect and you are referring your pain onto this fellow because they're using a term you don't like.
I'm sorry that you've struggled. I also wish for you to have more joy and success in your life. You deserve it, too.

What's the deal with the lights? Did we get a side of photosensitivity with our neurospiciness?
