i do not believe these words should be abandoned!
in this post i hope to call attention to the same destructive processes happening to “neurodiverse” as to all the other terms. particularly i want to call out the ableist motivations behind it. my intent is to critique society’s weaponization of words, not the words themselves.
Acoustic?
IDK, but I saw that being used within autistic communities first. At least for a while, which would explain this meme.
Maybe you dont hear this in your circles but in my (younger) cohort it is ALL OVER THE PLACE and has been used against me in a derogatory manner
Idk, I think it’s gone out of fashion atp, but it was super annoying.
I feel like the same people who use “acoustic” also use “regarded”
definitely a generational thing
They just can’t catch a break trying to make this meme work, huh
