1·1 month agoYes 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 :(

2·1 month agoThank 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.

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.

21·1 month agoWtf 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?

And thus, ray-tracing was born.
