When did Nero divergent become a thing? Last couple months it's everywhere. Never even heard of it before then...
It has existed for a while but has been getting more mainstream ik recent years.
Its a good term because it comes from the community itself rather then being a medical label by a doctor so its inclusive to people with or without diagnosis.
It also covers many more neurological differences that are not, yet frequently overlap with, autism. adhd, dyslexia,… You dont need to self identify as sick or disabled it often just feels better for me.
Makes sense, thanks.
