Neuroaffirming Language: Take a look at the slides below for how to reframe the language we use.
resource-navigating-neurodiversity-affirming-language.pdfThis table here provides examples of how to navigaten some Neuroaffirming language. It also provides a reason as to why some Neurodivergent people may prefer these terms.
Please note: This table is a generalization. There are many in the ND community who may prefer some of the first column's terminology. For example, some may still prefer Asperger's or Aspie, as it has been a part of their identity for so long that a change of this nature could be uncomfortable and cause distress. There is a larger, general movement away from this term, but individuals within the community may have a different preference.
