A few people mention an issue with the word unusual. While it actually attracted my attention in a positive way, finding that the intent of the site is to connect those with atypical mental health concerns was quite different from what I was expecting. Maybe an "online community for atypical people" would be better wording?
- Gik 7y agoThanks, devinjflick. Atypical is an enigmatic word though.
- kupiakos 7y agoIt's enigmatic, yes, but it seems to be the more common term amongst some atypical groups (neurodiverse and queer/trans people are who I have the most interaction with). There are some people who find unusual to be more pejorative than atypical.
- Gik 7y agoYes, kupiakos, pejorative is not good, I'll change it now for atypical in a few moments. Thanks for your input!
- TotempaaltJ 7y agoI quite like "neurodiverse", if you intend to be that specific.
- zepolen 7y agoAn online community for people that are almost, but not quite, entirely unlike usual
- Gik 7y agoHey, zepolen! Yes, that's great line, I must consider it too.
