Very informative, and well thought-out!
- I'm feeling close-minded today. Can you argue why autism isn't intrisically negative? -
Somebody's had enough of judgmental hierarchical NT bs 😆
btw, if you build that up to be more comprehensive or terms, I'd love to put it on the sidebar
I could try. Tell me what could be improved and in which ways and I'll give it some work.
I think a long comprehensive list of neurodivergence terms would be helpful, like aphantasia, dyslexia, stimming, masking, etc. Aside from that, there are some minor grammatical/formatting errors, but those are not bad at all. Let me know if you want any help with it! You could also seek support from the community by making a post directly asking for help. It's all up to you though. I'm just trying to get our community thriving :)
