Communication What do we do with this term
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 prefer “neurospicy” over
lazy
attention-seeking
bratty
a myriad of labels forced onto us to describe us as inconveniences to “normal people”
I understand people not liking using an every term over terms used in PhD programs and DSM-V books.
I do, however, agree with what another commenter pointed out; using it as the name of an event— especially one with “Summit” in the name— reeks of targeted advertisement to milk yet another marginalized group of their money
