Hello. I've mentioned I'm a sperg beforehand. And I hate this. I have so much more about me than being another box for well meaning diversocrats to tick before wanking each other off about how progressive they are. But that is the way that it's going.

Honestly, I'd rather if I had children who were "neurodiverse" as the term seems to be, that they were bullied like I was rather than patronised and headpatted and infantilised. At least with the bullies you can tell them to FRO without getting in too much trouble.

Oh yes. Term I've seen recently in autism related discourse that I hate with the burning force of a thousand suns - "neurospicy." No. Just no.

I'm now going to listen to Ian Dury's "Spasticus Autisticus" at very high volume to clean my brain of this old bollox.

Haha, whenever I forget myself and start waffling on about whatever my current pet obsession is, or stare at an unfunny person for ages saying "but I don't get it?", that's sperging.

"Neurospicy" has the same relationship to genuine autism as "queer" has to being same-sex attracted. It's co-opting and blurring boundaries, normally to make someone sound more interesting and label-worthy than they actually are.
