For people that flagged my message: "The word neurodiversity is attributed to Judy Singer, an Australian social scientist on the autism spectrum, who used the term in her sociology honors thesis published in 1999." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity). You can bury your head in the sand, that doesn't change the meaning of words.
Also, it's is quite ironical that people advocating for it can't handle an opinion deviating slightly from their own beliefs.

- danharaj 7y agoReally remarkable that somebody could completely miss the fact that most people consider the opinion "I'm skeptical these people have any value whatsoever" execrable.
