“Vocal stim” you mean an inside joke? “Nonverbal” you mean a verbal shutdown? “Trauma bond” you mean a shared trauma connection? “Overstimulated” you mean overwhelmed?

The misuse of neurodivergent terms by neurotypical people will never cease to PISS ME OFF.

The overstimulated one pisses me off so much. Like no, unless you are in a situation where you feel like you have to leave immediately or you’re gonna have a meltdown in a public space you can’t say you’re overstimulated.

as someone who autism i think you can DEFINITELY be overstimulated without leaving immediately or feeling like you’re going to have a melt down

I have autism too. My two modes of overstimulation is complete shut down and near meltdown. Most of the neurotypical people I hear using overstimulated typically use it for the purpose of leaving a social situation so that’s why I said that
