Yes totally it bothers me a lot when words mean something different than what it seems like they should mean...

Weird i didn't think the R slur had any place in medicine any more.

I have plenty of bad memories involving that word :(

Please don't use slurs :(

Ty!

Thank you for your explanatory responses. I decided to look up an authoritative definition for myself. According to what I found, it isn't a medical term and doesn't have a medical definition, so means whatever people say it means. Which is I guess how language always works, it is just that it is a new word with roots that imply a broader meaning.

The lists generally exclude personality disorders, but this doesn't seem logical to me, although I am not a neurologist. I thought all brain differences arise or manifest as differences in the brain structure.

Also the road to getting to that helpful therapist may be long, short, bumpy, or smooth, but is a journey worth taking and a rewarding process even if you have bad experiences with individual therapists not getting you, as weird as that is to say.

Ro?

Are you making this up?

I'm going by the parts of the words: neuro meaning of the mind/brain and divergent meaning deviating from normal. I don't see why "neurodivergent" wouldn't include all of ADHD, autism, personality disorders, and mental illness as these are all brain differences.

Mustard, you fuck

Wtf is neurodivergence if not a divergence from normal personality and thinking?

Relatable
