my quarter life crisis :
Well that’s because the term isn’t meant to be clinical, it’s sociopolitical to create unity. People use it incorrectly by referring to it as a diagnosis when it’s not, the goal of the term was to depathologize us for solidarity in access rights advocacy.

When I use that term I am usually referring to my ADHD, as well as having a learning disability and frustration with how some people who are likely neurotypical get really harsh when I make a mistake on something that probably comes easy to them.

Well yes neurodivergent isn’t a diagnosis; it’s an umbrella term for having a mind that functions in ways which diverge from the dominant societal standards of “normal”. So I’m with you that it’s not useful when trying to communicate a specific experience but incredibly useful in other contexts! I think of it like a sister term to “queer”—doesn’t tell you what specific identifier someone might use but does point to a positioning within a broader community that exists outside of normative frameworks.

I like neurodivergent because it’s a larger label because autism is just one thing but I think I have co mobile so it’s nicer to say neurodivergent

It's an easy way to tell someone their brain works differently. Kinda like when someone in the LGBTQIA+ community just says they're queer, it's an umbrella term that gives enough of an explanation without having to dive into a full explanation. I can understand why you, as a clinician, wouldn't like it if that's all you're being given in a session, but outside of your practice I wouldn't say that's up to you.

I agree. It does seem to be overused. Especially because the meaning is supposed to be different from “normal.” It seems to me like if you use it for everything then it’s no longer denoting something that’s different from normal. One blanket term being used for many things no longer really means anything once it’s overused. And what even is normal anyway? There are many shades of “normal.” Why do we have to say you’re normal and I’m not? We’re all just different from one another in many ways. Why use language to divide? Seems like it’s just meant to come off as a “polite” way to say someone’s different. Why do we even need to describe that someone’s different? We’re all different from one another! And, to your point, if it’s because of a diagnosis, we could just share the diagnosis if it’s truly that important to point out.
