Exactly! Goes for other conditions as well. One symptom of having a broken arm is sucking at tennis. I suck at tennis, so in a way, my arm is a little broken. And I can’t see what’s behind me, so I’m essentially 50% blind.
Not true. This is why I dislike the “neurodiversity” trend. Just say autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc as they are without trying to link them with an umbrella term, it leads to the false idea that they are not disabilities/illnesses and even that everyone has something. Most people are neurotypical
they’re not illnesses and that’s not even a controversial statement. no mental health professional worth their salt would call autism or adhd illnesses
This false binary is the problem. Everyone is on a spectrum of neuro-diversity. Some people’s diversity is deemed “unacceptable” arbitrarily.

Yeah, stick to arguing semantics on 1/50 words instead of my point
