Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I love pointing out shit like this and people going "That's not neurodivergeant! That's just how it was done!" Like, my dude, you don't get that kind of focus without having some flavor of neurospicy.

Well, you made up new word. The only thing we have to agree is that this isn't science. (It's social science and social justice - not neuroscience). "The neurodiversity movement is a social justice movement advocating for the rights" ND was just called "cool" or "far out" or "all of us"

Neurodiversity is 100% science. Its just our understanding of the brain and its workings are so new and such vast unexplored territory that we're on the leading edges of a frontier we can't even see the borders of, not even of the border we crossed to get to this point. And I made up zero words...

Tell us a person has no insight or connection to the Neurodivergent community: they think neurospicy is a new made up word.

Exactly, and the fact they think its not scientific. Sorry, my dude, but *everything* invovling how the brain works and how the differences in the workings of the brains of two people can be more vast than the oceans is almost nothing but science.

Your Science is not what Scientists use. We can claim buying furniture is atomic level physics -t is. Those chairs are not what they appear - the are molecules and atoms and light bouncing off of them to fool you into thinking "just a chair". All are different is fact. ID as such is optional..

Every single condition that laymen consider part of neurodiversity appears in the DSM 5. So while medical and neuro scientists might not use the specific word "neurodiversity" or derivations thereof, they do use words like autism and adhd. Neurodiversity + neurospicy are just laymen catchall terms..

for an entire range fully recognized and studied conditions that are immutable characteristics of many humans.
