@marronvulpes @actuallyautistic This poll is poorly conceived: it excludes the possibility of having a spouse who is not autistic but still very much neurodivergent. The results will be skewed in an unpredictable fashion as people flip a coin to decide which incorrect response to choose.

@VulcanTourist @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic The opposite of autistic is allistic, and includes all non-autistic neurodivergences such as ADHD.

@StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic If "allistic" != "neurotypical", as you just defined it, then you now have an understanding why I have an objection to any use of the first term.

@VulcanTourist @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic Not really, no. If two words don't mean the same thing, then it seems pretty clear why we need two words.

@StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic The term is pejorative as used in most contexts. People might as well be calling non-autistic people niggers. I'm flatly against use of such pejorative terms. They're not accurate nor descriptive.

@bhawthorne @StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic I'll counter with a question of my own, to induce you to consider: how exactly does "allistic" accurately and obviously describe people who are not autistic?

@VulcanTourist @bhawthorne @StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic .(I mean, is there any description of "Allistic," at all? I mean, of its own. "Not Autistic," isn't really a definition any more than "Not a chair," is.)

@punishmenthurts @bhawthorne @StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic "Not autistic" is PERFECTLY and quite obviously descriptive of the intended class. "Allistic" is neither. It's not even phonetically that much shorter to justify being a convenience.It was conceived as an alleged ingenious pejorative term, even if not every single use of it ends up being pejorative. It's an excellent example of a word that should never have existed in the first place.

@VulcanTourist @bhawthorne @StarkRG @marronvulpes @actuallyautistic .I mean, if it's Autistics talking, and complaining, then sure, "Allistic," shows up derogatory. Isn't this equal and opposite, isn't it usually derogatory when NTs say, "Autistic?"

@VulcanTourist @punishmenthurts @bhawthorne @StarkRG @actuallyautistic Can you give any feedback on how you would create the poll then? I didn't mean to cause trouble but I don't know what else to do besides deleting the poll altogether.

@marronvulpes @VulcanTourist @bhawthorne @StarkRG @actuallyautistic .just add a "neither," button..This is silly, this critique, I'm Autistic, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about ADHD people, my life is Autism VS Allism, we're allowed to have our own conversations, the ADHD and other NDs can make their own polls 💜

@HarryNuggets @actuallyautistic @punishmenthurts @bhawthorne @StarkRG @marronvulpes Well now there's a lovely pejorative use of two other words, only one of which was originally intended to be pejorative.
