[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bizarre that NT is so rare now that "quirky" means ASD etc. 
Used to be the kids riding unicycles at MIT or into folk dancing or Tolkien. [/quote]

It doesn’t mean that…but it’s how people try to put a positive spin on their kids with LDs and other problems.

It also doesn’t result in good advice for a kid with LDs vs a kid that is actually quirky.

Is the varsity soccer captain quirky if they are also in the dungeons and dragons club or draw anime?  What if the valedictorian with 16 AP classes likes heavy eye makeup, wears black clothes and is kind of goth-ish?  All-star quarterback who is gay?

What is quirky?  Blue hair?  On the spectrum?  It means something different to everyone who says it.  Ridiculous word.[/quote]

IMO, "quirky" describes the person who always gets irrationally angry whenever anyone uses the word quirky.  [/quote]

Or perhaps justifiably angry whenever anyone uses the word quirky.[/quote]

This sounds like a you problem.[/quote]
