🍵 holly@autismsupsoc I lol'd, although it's a bit weird to see #ADHD described as "kinetic", since most often all the thoughts buzzing around in my head make me go non-verbal and I just sit there like a zombie unable to react. I mean, I guess the kinetic stuff is still there, but you would never know it from the outside.
“Buzzing” => motion => kinetic.
Motion has for at least the last 1000 years been used to describe the flow of thought.
Thank you!
@autismsupsoc Technically, yes. But the vast majority of people perceive kinetic as meaning visible motion. Calling it kinetic won't correct their thinking, but it does feed a misunderstanding in the general public that prevented me from getting diagnosed until I was 41. As someone with #ADHD this term harms me.
I am confused and bewildered by your toots.
If you don’t like an identity term, don’t use it for yourself.
If you don’t like others using it, make a better identity term for people to choose.
ADHD is a harmful *term* based on Science, by embracing that *term* but rejecting another one as harmful based on your opinion, you demonstrate a level of hypocrisy that we cannot navigate.
