  OP:
context: It's just feel-good virtue signaling definition changes. 
  Disorder implies it's bad, and that may hurt some people's feelings. I think it's stupid to insist that it isn't bad because people genuinely do suffer from those conditions. At the end of the day though, it really doesn't harm anything as much as it doesn't help so I don't really care. 
  In my mind neurodivergent is just synonymous with abnormal but it's just a "nicer" way of saying it. >
  
  Way to be completely ignorant about how important language is and the effects it has. People that complain about virtue signaling are just butt-hurt they can't throw slurs around anymore. >
  
  Virtue signaling doesn't have to necessarily be a negative thing.. it shows compassion. But it is virtue signaling. 
  I have ADHD, we're pretty sure that my son has autism (he's 3, still too young to tell), we are "neurodivergent", but we are also abnormal. I don't think it's a negative thing to be abnormal and I am not hurt by the word, if people want to use neurodivergent to feel better about it, knock yourself out. But it won't change the fact that you deviate from normality.
