   Hmm… #AskingAutistics

   What is the meaning of #Autistic Spicy? I recently started seeing it but what is it? There is also: #ADHD Spicy.

   ~trying so catch up with the times 😆

     @TerryHancock Ahh! It's like the how the old "aspie" term was used.

     Interesting. I'm kinda torn personally though, it's a sign the community fragmented because of sensitivies, instead of everyone uniting together and helping each other. Sometimes, we overdo labels. 😅 I guess it is what it is. Maybe in some regions or countries, it is a big issue.

     Thank you for the explanation! I deeply appreciate it. 🙇🏽

     I have seen/heard "neurospicy" as a slang synonym for "neurodivergent". Your examples sound like they're being used to be more specific to Autistic or ADHD divergence.

     These terms are used by/for low-needs autistic/ADHD people who want to talk about their issues without offending people who think "autistic" and "ADHD" should be reserved for people more disabled. Often these are self-diagnosed/undiagnosed.

     Personally, I find the "-spicy" terms a bit too kitschy, though.

     "Spicy" is just an abbreviation of "neuro spicy" which is just a more fun way of saying neurodivergent.
