RE: "Neurospicy" or Neurodivergent?

in #education2 months ago

I personally wouldn't use neurospicy.. as the term spicy also is used to describe people who are more lewd or lack boundaries etc. So when ever I here it I just think the person is going to act in a way that will make me uncomfortable.

Neurodivergent is perfectly fine descriptor, we really don't and shouldn't be subsituting words to make them.. more palatable or whatever, there is no need imo.

Thanks for your take on this. This is exactly why I asked. I want to make kids feel valued and seen. Sometimes a quick slang term can help that. But other times it may seem trivializing. For now I am putting up signs that say "embrace neurodiversity" and I will see if a specific kid like the term. If it helps them feel understood, I'll use it. If not I won't.
