Re: Terminology question TW: everything?

Take this with a large amount of salt, as I am at best on the fringes of the spheres where people actually use such terms, but as far as I know, "neurodivergent" and synonyms are pretty much exclusively used for ways of thought/information processing that differ from the norm. The original use was for autism exclusively; you see it used for things like sensory processing disorder, profound giftedness, and so on now. It has nothing to do with gender, sexuality, or religion whatsoever. I haven't seen it used for things like depression, PTSD, or eating disorders much, but the usage does exist.

That's honestly strange to me. Would someone who has profound OCD would be considered neurotypical?

AYRT

Yes. I'm not entirely sure how the distinction is made, but I'm fairly sure OCD is not, in itself, a marker of neuroatypicality. The Wikipedia page does a fairly good job of defining it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotypical), but it's a messy term with few concrete definitions; while it's reached more common usage than terms like "demifemale", the definition is just about as fluid.

ocd falls under neurodivergence, yes

What about trans people (I ask because GID is considered a disorder) or eating disorders or PTSD?

eh personally i dont think trans people are inherently neurodivergent. and mental disorders/illnesses are different from neurological a/typicality imo. like i would say that add/adhd and ocd are neuroatypical in nature bc they're usually neurodevelopmental . but thats just me. i think neurodivergence as a term is used too commonly to describe mental illnesses when the two arent interchangeable .
