@artemis @nicklockwood I’m confused. What does the original post have to do with neurodivergent people?

@_Jordan @artemis the quoter may be drawing an inference there that isn't supported, but it doesn't really make a difference to the point does it? Schools requiring kids to dumb down their vocabulary to pass as human sucks, regardless of whether they are neurotypical or not

@_Jordan @artemis I don't know for all neurodivergences, but ASD people tend to use more uncommon words

1) because of special interests (reading dictionaries for fun anyone ?)

2) because of masking: carefully choosing one's words to try to avoid miscommunication
