Thank you!

Also neurodivergent always makes it sound like it's a choice or that autistic people started out 'normal' then diverged from that path. Neurotypical and neuroatypical are better terms (not to mention neurodivergent makes me think of new age-y transcendental shit).

Neurodivergent sounds like it was made up after someone watched the Divergent series and wanted to feel special because they don't think they fit in with anyone they know in real life. "Ooh, I'm not a candor like you, I'm neurodivergent"

And I fail to see how confusing platonic relationships for romantic puts you on the Aromantic spectrum? I've had that exact experience and I know for a fact that it was me being stupid and new to romantic/sexual feelings since I was a teenager at the time and not because I have a unique sexuality to where I don't know whether I want to sleep with all my friends or not. If anything, shouldn't it be hyperromantic?
