Honestly can’t hear that word without picturing an extremely insufferable loser. Probably because many insufferable autistic losers use it like it’s an insult to non-autistic people. They actually think barely being able to function in society makes them better.
100% it’s just an attempt to pathologize being “normal”, the same way some people use “neurodivergent” to mean that suffering from autism, ADHD, or other whatever is just a difference of opinion rather than a life-altering condition.
