This is just text written anywhere. There’s an art to making yourself understood in different contexts.
“Neurodivergent” is a bit different though. The r-word says something normative about people’s mental development. It’s saying that the person has been prevented from being normal; that something is wrong with them. “Special needs” indicates that someone requires different resources than what is typical. Much like IQ when it was developed, it’s a way to sort people’s needs on an economic basis, which isn’t poorly intentioned. However, it still labels people by how we need certain things within our socioeconomic system.
Disorder classification systems like the DSM or ICD seek to normalize people, making sure we “function” in society. It measures us by a set of standards to ensure that we can live independently with our environment. It is very much defined by how society is structured; the environment of industrial capitalism. It doesn’t matter how fulfilling your life is, only that you are a functional cog.
“Neurodivergence” seeks to avoid the pathology based approach. It says nothing about us having disorders. It instead focuses on us as different and divergent from the norm, but not inherently ill because of who we are. It’s invariant to economic systems or cultural norms, only saying that we are different.
I joined for the first time when the muskification got started. I was banned for roasting bigots within a month
I’ve joint pains my entire adult life 😫
At least it gives me an excuse to get one… 👀
I’m yeeting my nuts for other reasons. I wouldn’t be doing it if the recent US election went the other way.
That’s exactly it
Is there already a game where you play as Ciri?
A parasite made in a computer
I want kids. Unfortunately for the wealthy, I’m also yeeting my nuts so I get to live happy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with “XD :3 ><” and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. “UwU” is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)
Tbf, cat addiction is caused by a parasite
So is screaming dog. They’re good; that’s why they’re unhappy about the post.
I don’t even need to hear most of them out; I totally get it 😭
