Were you referred to as “the weird kid” growing up / Do you consider yourself to be “weird” as an adult?

@lifewithtrees Therelation between the two questions confuse me. One is about public perception, the other as self insight.
I see not reason to consider myself any weirder today as I'd consider myself in my youth, but I can imagine a whole bunch of #neuroblands disagreeing with both assessments.
@jordgubben i am curious if those perceived as “weird” as a kid see themselves as “weird” as an adult. Even in today’s classrooms kids use weird as a pejorative (something which never really resonated with me as a weird kid by others and weird as an adult of my own admission.
Also I’ve not heard neurobland. Can you share more on that?
@lifewithtrees Oh.
#neurobland is the opposite of #neurospicy.
So like #neurodivergent vs. #neurotypical, but without the connotation that the later would be more common (or even "healthier").
If you have not hear about it before it's because I came upp with it ca 10 minutes ago.
I like the analogy that some types are simply more stimulating. However I feel that bland has a negative connotation so something else might be better suited
But again I absolutely love the approach cause especially the stimulation overdrive is what some days literally feel like.
