reminder that neurodivergent (nd) is an extremely broad term

it was coined by kassiane sibley aka neurodivergentk aka @sherlocksflataffect on here

it’s intentionally broad. it simply refers to a brain that diverges.

and it does include mental illness!!! stop saying stuff like ND and mentally ill (because mentally ill people are already ND)

stop using ND to refer just to autism and adhd and maybe dyslexia. that’s literally what it was coined to end (people using neurodiversity to only talk about autism and maybe learning disabilities)

people with anxiety are neurodivergent

people with depression are neurodivergent

they aren’t trying to steal your word - they’re using one that already belongs to them
