Aleen"I'm kind of OCD about keeping up with my planner."
No, you're not! OCD is a debilitating condition.
You're fastidious. Meticulous. Careful. Regimented, even. You're not "a little OCD."
Ashe Dryden 🙆🏼♀️🐈🐈⬛@aleen I find that most ableist wording you really have to push people to understand what they are trying to communicate. This isn’t “crazy”, it’s ridiculous, etc. Use your words!
@Ashedryden I always get so much pushback when I talk about ableist language. It's fascinating.
Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏@aleen "kind of" does not equate to "I have the condition of" or even "a little," although when someone says "a little" they are also not asserting that they have the condition. Language is less precise than this.
AutistiCritic@aleen I get sick of hearing about how “everyone is a little bit autistic”. Like, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit! 🤨
Wayne Robinson@aleen @HollyGoDarkly I'm not OCD and have no one in my life that is, but I cringe a little every time I hear someone describe their fastidiousness as OCD.
