Something often said: 'We don't use the word crazy around here'. I'm sorry but bandying around that word is vague and misleading. Authors really need to be more

Something often said: 'We don't use the word crazy around here'. I'm sorry but bandying around that word is vague and misleading. Authors really need to be more specific. This is why we have distinct terms like ADHD, Neurodiverse, Eccentricity, etc.
- johndhi 4y agoDisagree. Seems like a useful word and the article title conveys its meaning quite well. The multiple interpretations of 'crazy' are exactly what makes the title interesting. Crazy looney or crazy like a fox?

- dinkumthinkum 4y agoNeurodiverse, that’s just leftist propaganda. It’s like calling someone “vertically challenged” or something equally silly. People use the word “crazy” in this context and we all know what it means unless we are very pedantic or completely unaware of words having meanings other than the most literal, dry definitions. But if you read English in that way then articles like this are not for you, really, which is not an attack. It’s just there for most people, we want to read more engaging content that something that reads like a 1970s instruction manual.
