I notice a lot of people use terms like "psychotic" or "psychopath" as insults and negative descriptions on here. These are clinical terms that are used to describe real people with difficulties, not boogeymen! I don't disagree with the sentiment that these people are doing wrong, but if you wouldn't use the r-slur or "autistic" as an insult (which you shouldn't) then you shouldn't use these words either. And I get the idea of calling someone delusional, but take care that you don't just mean "I disagree with them." Though by posting on neurodiverse I imagine I'm preaching to the choir.

Sincerely, a casual schizoaffective disorder haver.

    Yeah, in the same way that white hexbears have shitty opinions about race, most NT have shitty behaviours regarding ND comrades. Just like liberals will call Trump and Putin gay, some hexbear users do the ND equivalent of that.

    Respect for identity and not using harmful language is a privilege only given to the in-group. That's why it's common to make fun of Ben Shapiro's voice or height even though it's not a moral judgment on him and hurts comrades who have those same traits. Humans are humans.
