Then there was the transitional phase of Gen X calling them all gay or retarded before Millennials introduced acceptance.
I’m not suggesting that we’ve made it to full acceptance, but that Millennials really began normalizing acceptance of disorders as well as mental health treatment.
I make it a point to talk about my mental health and treatment openly with my friends and co-workers. Everyone should do it. You never know if you could be the little push someone needs to seek help.
Gen X here. Anything that didn't fit in our box was gay or retarded.
I'm on (just barely) Gen Z and I still get called retarded for symptoms of neurodivergence
I'm a Gen Xer, and I think it's fucked up that people say things like that to you. I'm sorry, you deserve better.
That's very kind, thank you
We were so gay back then
And started making jokes about old people
