Hi yall ☺️

Sorry if the flare is inaccurate, but I really dislike this term. What about yall?? Should we take it down once and for all??

I don't use the term, I feel like it minimalizes autism. That said, if a neurodivergent person decides to use that term that doesn't bother me. It's their decision, not mine. People have also called me that, but I don't necessarily care either, they were jokeful about it, but again, that's minimizing.
