The proliferation of identities and labels like "neurodivergent" is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
I never got diagnosed as a schizotype in school but they tried really hard to accommodate me anyway. Today I would be misdiagnosed as ADHD or autistic. Today there is a two-class system in school between people who have a diagnosis who can get little accommodations like another two minutes to use the bathroom and people without a diagnosis who have to ride on the back of the bus.
- resoluteteeth 9mo agoYou seem to be describing yourself as a "schizotype" but isn't that also a similar label to the ones you are criticizing the proliferation of? If you feel that the other labels are unhelpful why do you feel it is helpful to label yourself as a "schizotype"?
