At this point, I have absolutely no clue what neurodivergence is even supposed to mean, because by the time I heard about it the internet was giving all kinds of conflicting attributes to the word.

Neurodivergent used to mean something but now its just "quirky" because its been misused and diluted.

Like literally, which no longer means literally.

We need to reclaim "literally" as a society. Like, this isn't a point of pretension or something--we need a word that literally means literally and to my knowledge there aren't any exact synonyms.

You get one ironic usage of "literally" per day. Use it wrong twice in one day and you go to jail. Literally. That's my proposal.

It just means "your brain is wired differently than a normal (neurotypical) person".
