Serious question:
Is saying someone or saying that you yourself are “on the spectrum” (as in #neurodivergent, or autistic/Asperger diagnostic spectrum) a slur, or just not a good choice of words?
I know there are a couple of other terms that I’ve seen people use as slurs I’d definitely avoid.
#autism #asperger #psychology #sensitivity #ethics #Autismspectrum
#Autismspectrum #ethics #sensitivity #psychology #asperger #Autism #neurodivergent
We finished watching #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo series & I have #MixedFeelings on it. I did enjoy the storylines. I wasn't impressed by over the top representations of #autism . It's the 2nd #Korean #StreamingSeries that bothered me on this issue. While I appreciate that #KoreanFilmmakers are trying to be #inclusive by adding #FeatureCharacters on #AutismSpectrum - fell very short on how autistic folks behave daily. It's disturbing.
These film folks seripusly need real autistics as advisors.

@gabsmashh This is one of those moments where I wonder if the meme maker is #autistic, or if there’s some truth to the claim that everyone is a little autistic.
“We’re all on the human spectrum“

Being different & awkward is the new type of cool and a norm. In a world where people try to blend in with others, why not stand out? I think that's even better!!

So I finished my second book of 2023, 'The Maid' by Nita Prose. Ever finish a book and aren't exactly sure how you feel about it? 🤔

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops” https://www.kottke.org/17/12/inequality-and-americas-lost-einsteins #StephenJayGould
it’s assumed that #Einstein was on the #AutismSpectrum but talent /= #HumanRights

The concept of the multidimensional #AutismSpace really resonates with me. It recognizes that autism can manifest in a wide range of ways and can intersect with other identities. Let's move away from the unidimensional #AutismSpectrum and embrace the diversity of the autism community #ActuallyAutistic

The term #AutismSpectrum doesn't do justice to the complexity and individuality of each person's experience with autism. It suggests that there is a linear progression and individuals can be easily placed into a hierarchy based on their abilities. Let's instead recognize the multidimensionality and individuality of each person's experience with autism and call it the multidimensional #AutismSpace. #AutismAwareness

@viktorbir Yes! The term #AutismSpectrum doesn't do justice to the complexity and individuality of each person's experience with autism. Let's call it the multidimentional #AutistimSpace instead. #AutismAwareness

Being on the autism spectrum means that no two autistic people are exactly alike. We're all unique and have our own strengths and challenges. #autism #autismspectrum So if you see one autistic person doing something a certain way, don't assume that's how all autistic people do it. We're a diverse and amazing group! #diversityandinclusion #differentnotless

(The other two were #motorcontrol, which I'd score myself 2/5 on - clumsy but functional - and #repetitivebehaviour, which I'm unsure about. I had the strong urge to pull a hood over my face, sit down and rock at one point, but I wasn't wearing a hood and my masking for that runs deep, so it felt natural to resist the urge. Not really sure what else counts - my recharge activity was reading Pratchett and comfort eating in bed, but that feels pretty normal, so idk)
