[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a word commonly used now and I’m not sure it’s really an insult. The concepts of ADHD and autism have made a strong entrance into that age group. Middle schoolers aren’t the most nuanced people around. I think it’s generally reflecting back the higher profile of those diagnoses. [/quote] Right, it’s becoming much more normalized. A lot of kids will use it self referentially, autistic and non. I hear it used not as an insult but just like - you’re being extra. It goes some way to removing stigma [/quote]
