neuroqueer

Does this mean the individual simply identifies as neurodivergent without any objective evidence? If queering sexuality means a man can identify as a lesbian, I see no reason why queering neurology shouldn't mean a neurotypical can identify as neurodivergent.

I wonder how parents would take it if a bunch of kids started identifying as autistic en masse and the school affirmed their identity at their word instead of conducting evaluations to verify, and then these kids all are placed in a self-contained autism classroom to validate their identities, straining the resources that are intended to help kids who are actually autistic and are disabled to one extent or another? The teacher would cater to the neurotypical majority and the kids needing specific attention and intervention would be left in the cold again. All the while media praises the neuroqueer kids as brave and special people who are the victims of the prejudices of their actually autistic classmates and their parents, who are all horribly bigoted for wanting them out of their classrooms.

    'im sometimes socially awkward :P im such an aspie lol!'

    They want all the woque points with none of the struggle, depression, anxiety and co-morbidities that come along with the disability. Kind of like the queer movement, come to think of it. Is that why they called it neuroqueer, because it's also a nebulous term?

    "Sometimes I have difficulty paying attention. I'm SOOO ADD."

    "I keep everything organized and can't stand a little clutter, I'm SOOO OCD."

    It's mildy cringy among teenagers who do not understand that they are misusing the label. When people cling to those "this makes me special" labels into adulthood and proclaim themselves the sole entity capable of understanding which mental conditions describe them, including browbeating people who have been more or less objectively determined to have the condition as oppressive, it goes from cringy phase to narcissistic nightmare.

    As someone with real OCD, can't agree more. Also depression. Of coruse mental health is not taken seriously, people use mental conditions as a joke all the time, then people with real diseases get criticized for being too weak charactered or getting called cowards when they kill themselves.

    The people who casually use OCD as a synonym for 'liking things to be neat or ordered' really annoy me.

    We don't (or shouldn't) do this with other diseases. We don't drop something and go 'whoops, there goes my Parkinsons!'
