@LoganFive @CommonMugwort Depends on your definition of ND/NT. I have self-diagnosed dyspraxia, and formally diagnosed bipolar. Some ppl include mental illnesses under neurodivergence. So IDK
@purplepadma The question asks you to classify yourself, so it’s your definition that matters
@CommonMugwort I guess I don’t feel comfortable using that term - would feel like appropriation
@purplepadma Hey, I’m not here to tell you what words to use about yourself, but I’m not sure appropriation applies to anonymous polls whose results don’t matter. That word feels to me like a community judgement about material harm.
@CommonMugwort I was only using it about myself and my insecurities
@purplepadma I know : ) Seems a shame to internalise something like that.
@CommonMugwort I know, I know… and I am the first to tell people they should use the word “disabled” if they feel it’s right, and that it’s not “appropriating” from people who are “really” disabled. But I’ve never been good at taking my own advice
@purplepadma Oh, honey. Who is?
