Misusing language about neurodivergence has happened in the past. To keep doing it is linguistically oppressive in action just as it is with race, gender or religion.

At @SEDSConnective, we advocate for accurate information, compassionate care and better awareness of the overlap between neurodivergence, hypermobility and co-occurring conditions. Everyone deserves to be supported without needing to mask pain, fear, shame or misinformation.
