Spoilers

[edit]

Is it necessary for the plot summaries to have spoilers? Why can't they just tell the main part of the plot? 2603:8000:E800:5F4E:D0E3:AC1B:6F1B:2E4D (talk) 05:42, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Neurodiverse vs Neurodivergent

[edit]

I see my edit was reverted. I'm not sure if the revert was warranted. It's clear from the context that what makes the situation unique is the qualities of certain individuals. See https://neuroqueer.com/neurodiversity-terms-and-definitions/ 70.18.203.71 (talk) 22:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If no one has any objections, I'll go ahead and restore the language that's both accurate and preferred by the community. 70.18.203.71 (talk) 22:34, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The word "neurodiverse" in this article is used as an adjective for "people", as in plural. A group of people can be neurodiverse, and the page that you linked states that: "a neurodiverse group is a group in which multiple neurocognitive styles are represented." ... discospinster talk 22:51, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not really the sense being used here. In this case, it is a description of certain individuals. Did you get a chance to read Nick Walker's very relevant essay? Allow me to quote the relevant bits here: "To refer to neurominority groups or neurodivergent individuals as “neurodiverse” is incorrect grammatically, because diverse doesn’t mean different from the majority, it means made up of multiple different types. So an individual can never be diverse, by definition. And a group where everyone is neurodivergent in more or less the same way (e.g., a group composed entirely of Autistic people) wouldn’t be “neurodiverse,” either."
