Especially when you don’t even have an official diagnosis.

So I really don’t get this obsession people have these days with wanting to be and identify as neurodivergent. It’s almost as bad as this trend from 2018-ish of people identifying as non-binary. I’m all for LGBTQ+ inclusivity but unless you’re intersex or transitioning you’re either a straight-up male or female, period. Never mind all this nonsense of pronouns. People in themselves are phenomenally diverse and complex but the binary division of biological sex has only few genuine exceptions. You’re not “non-binary” just because you wanna be.

I personally agree with you 100%
