it just kinda pisses me off how every time a medical term is created in like a few years tops it gets co-opted by abled people to talk about things it Does Not apply to and then this supposedly academic definition becomes muddied and eventually fucking useless to the point you'll say to an abled person you experience [insert symptom] and they interpret it as something entirely different
like say you're trying to communicate that you experience delusions, intrusive thoughts or have a hyperfixation and, worse than the listener not knowing what any of that is, they THINK they know what you're talking about but what they actually understood was "silly thoughts" or "new interest"
