Pretty sure you‘re only using the r-bomb and „mental issues“ in a joking way but its kind of not funny.
Musk is a spoiled, unempathetic, overhyped idiot who claims to be autistic… perfect example that autistic people can be cretins as well.
But a lot of autistic people are getting called the r-word and its not ok. Mental (health) issues are not a stigma. They are okay and normal. Being an asshole isnt normal or okay though.
By definition you can't be normal if you're neurodivergent...
By the "divergent" part of the word, you're right.
It would be like saying "it's normal to be abnormal". While it's true that not everybody is identical, and everyone has their quirks, by defintion "abnormal" is not "normal".
No idea if you‘re trying to offend people but „not normal“ is a term used to exclude people from a social group. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/normal
The term used to distinguish from is „typical“.
From the very source you provided:
I don't think anyone of sane mind would argue against the notion that it's more desirable, and by definition healthier, to be born neurotypical than neurodivergent.
just exchange the word neurodivergent with black or jewish and neurotypical with white or christian and you see the problem.
Provided you are “sane”.
"Just completely change your argument and it becomes problematic" is hardly convincing. In fact, you've committed a classic logical fallacy.
Yesh kinda weird how ok a lot of the users here are with using the r-word slur.
A little disturbing, ngl. Some might have grown up in a time or place where getting bullied and mistreated was no bid deal. Its actually good to see these things changing.
