My lemming in the Internet you do realize that reaction is because of social discrimination and punishment for not falling in line with expectations, right?
I wouldn’t have a reflexive reaction if I didn’t have experience with being singled out by others because of a damn medical record. I had to be background wallflower at every turn to blend in. I had to grow up with fear that I would be caught out and be treated as an undesirable at any moment.
So yeah, it’s not that simple. Go to med school and maybe present your fucking credentials if you want to be prescriptive.
Lol k, for some it is that simple. Big surprise people have different reactions, I’m sure acting like an ass endears you to others.
Edit: Source grew up as a weird kid, but it’s cool clearly I’m just victim blaming, not trying to good faith provide a positive enforcement of weird being OK.
How do we categorise people who were bullied and called weird as a child for having autism and now have a trauma reaction to the word?
Was going to write something similar, thanks for putting it out here.
I feel that in my soul as someone that has gone undiagnosed as a child but somehow everyone else picked up on it
They are normal, not weird
I mean that’s a normal reaction but they may still be weird
Own it and realize you are weird, but that’s not actually a bad thing.

That sounds like telling someone to just get over it
