i do not believe these words should be abandoned!
in this post i hope to call attention to the same destructive processes happening to “neurodiverse” as to all the other terms. particularly i want to call out the ableist motivations behind it. my intent is to critique society’s weaponization of words, not the words themselves.

I've heard that as well as restarted
Or “it’s started” due to the Black Eyed Peas!
Idk, I think it's gone out of fashion atp, but it was super annoying.
definitely a generational thing
