Sorry for the external link, but Lemmy wouldn’t allow me to post the whole text. As mentioned at the start, feel free to contribute or debate as you see fit, I might update this post later on.

  • I'm feeling close-minded today. Can you argue why autism isn't intrisically negative? -

Somebody's had enough of judgmental hierarchical NT bs 😆

btw, if you build that up to be more comprehensive or terms, I'd love to put it on the sidebar

I could try. Tell me what could be improved and in which ways and I'll give it some work.

I think a long comprehensive list of neurodivergence terms would be helpful, like aphantasia, dyslexia, stimming, masking, etc. Aside from that, there are some minor grammatical/formatting errors, but those are not bad at all. Let me know if you want any help with it! You could also seek support from the community by making a post directly asking for help. It's all up to you though. I'm just trying to get our community thriving :)
