Batshit insane has fewer syllables.

i prefer to be specific: aspie, autist, psycho, schizo, etc.

It's all bs

So neurotypical of you 😂😂. I hate these terms and most of the people who use them get my hackles up.

What are the non pc versions of this

Is basket case still on the books?

Euphemism Treadmill

"The euphemism treadmill is a linguistic phenomenon where terms used to replace offensive or unpleasant words eventually become tainted themselves, leading to the creation of new euphemisms. This cycle continues as society seeks to find more acceptable language for sensitive topics, but the underlying issues remain unchanged."

Add the following to the pyre:

Psychonormative

Neurotypical

You’re late to the party, AK. That term is used to identify …well, pretty much anything that needs a quick label.

Luckily, ANYONE can be neurodivergent!

AND you can diagnose YOURSELF as neurodivergent without seeing a doctor!!

Behold a small sampling of examples:

If you think the earth is flat, you’re neurodivergent.

If you spend more than five minutes folding your laundry, you’re neurodivergent.

If you enjoy spending time by yourself instead of getting drunk with a crowd of folks watching sportsball, you’re neurodivergent.

If you are interested in one thing for more than two weeks, you’re neurodivergent.

If you prefer one thing over another more than three times in a row, you’re neurodivergent.

If you hear conflicting voices in your head that no one else can hear, you’re neurodivergent.

If you have a measurable disdain for social media, you’re neurodivergent.

If you demonstrate an above-average ability in mathematics or problem-solving, you’re neurodivergent.

If you were not bothered by not being popular as a child, you’re neurodivergent.

If you display uncontrolled muscular movements, you’re neurodivergent.

If you are uninterested in the news, you’re neurodivergent.

. . .

Well, the list goes on.
