Never heard that one.
We use the phrase “busy brain” when talking about it sometimes with our 6 year old. He also knows his diagnosis, but I think our euphemism is more accessible for him.
I don't find it offensive either. It does make me feel a little weird though. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with the term, I'm just not used to this generation's obsession with affixing labels to every single thing. I'm getting old 😂😭
The term “Spicy” could, for some, imply that something requires more tolerance, especially from a culinary perspective. If something is spicy, it is the extreme of that construct, no spice, has spice, spicy.
Also commonly seen “Spicy Chicken Sandwich.”
I have also heard “spicy” used to replace sassy.
Maybe have them watch the movie Divergent to get a different perspective on the meaning of neurodivergent. That’s what I always think about honestly
I don't care for it, it connotes volatility.
Thank you for the feedback. 🙌😊
I personally don’t use it but I don’t find it offensive. I prefer ND or neurodivergent
On a different note, do you mind sharing your experience getting your kids diagnosed and what measures you or they are taking post diagnosis? I’m new to this topic and I believe one of my kid is on the spectrum.
I think we need to just call things what they are
I’ve seen people of colour dislike it due to associating non-white ethnicity/racial background with dysfunction/difference, so I’ve stopped using it.
