“Can’t drink all day if you don’t start first thing.”

In my experience they don’t care

Yes totally it bothers me a lot when words mean something different than what it seems like they should mean…

Weird i didn’t think the R slur had any place in medicine any more.

I have plenty of bad memories involving that word :(

Please don’t use slurs :(

Thank you for your explanatory responses. I decided to look up an authoritative definition for myself. According to what I found, it isn’t a medical term and doesn’t have a medical definition, so means whatever people say it means. Which is I guess how language always works, it is just that it is a new word with roots that imply a broader meaning.

The lists generally exclude personality disorders, but this doesn’t seem logical to me, although I am not a neurologist. I thought all brain differences arise or manifest as differences in the brain structure.

Are you making this up?

I’m going by the parts of the words: neuro meaning of the mind/brain and divergent meaning deviating from normal. I don’t see why “neurodivergent” wouldn’t include all of ADHD, autism, personality disorders, and mental illness as these are all brain differences.

Wtf is neurodivergence if not a divergence from normal personality and thinking?

How is it possible to be terrified of butterflies?

So it’s just an unfunny meme?
