Hi Nadia, I want to say I sincerely appreciate you getting on here to be vulnerable, in an instance where you didnt even have to respond; it takes a lot and it is commendable. As someone who struggled with AuDHD his whole life feeling isolated even in a group of loving friends, not being able to understand how everyone else was able to communicate with each other so fluently and I could only seem to talk about specific interests and unable to fully socialize until I learned how to mask at 18, and not being diagnosed until I was in my mid 30s, I feel the term Neurospicy (which I have learned from your videos), is very empowering and has even been helpful. I grew up in a Latino household and well in our culture you dont go to the doctor or "shrink", because it will be like a self fulfilling prophecy of there being something wrong. So when I finally got a diagnosis after dealing with years of depression, confusion and deep feelings of isolation, I told my friends and family. For some it made sense, for others the response was: "Dude, there is no way. Dont say that. There is nothing wrong with you.", that kind of stigma. So when a good friend of mine who had that reaction to me, later felt in a way devastated that their child was suggested, by the school nurse, to be tested, I told him, "Hey, there is nothing wrong with being a bit Neurospicy, just look at me". They over the past few months have been using the term and they have been using their social media platform to bring awareness to their own followers about loving and caring for people like us, who are on the spectrum. So, what I am trying to say here is, you keep being spicy my friend 🧡
