  • I don’t see it as offensive, but English isn’t my first language either.
    I don’t think we have a term in Swedish for “on the spectrum” we would instead say NPF, Neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättning / funtionsvariation which means “Neuropsychiatric disability / functional variation”.

    I do get a little bit annoyed tho when people hesitate or feel uncomfortable to use the word autism, as if it would be a slur. But I understand they don’t want to step on my or anyone else’s toes.





  • ooh, yes I see your point. I think both can be true, and a third; we think we (aka scientists) know how something is, but later finds out it works in a different way. The fact never changed, we just learned what it actually is.

    example: red pandas used to be categorised with the gigant pandas (that are closer to regular bears) but after we’ve learned more about the red pandas they are actually closer to raccoons.

    I don’t know what I’m trying to say. I hope I understood you correctly, English isn’t my first language.

    For me it’s that it has it’s focus on the text and it’s simple markdown, it’s free and the files are stored on my computer (and github in my case).

    I came from Notion where I put way to much time into what it looks like instead of focusing on the text.

    I used notion before, as context and I like how it’s just regular markdown, nothing fancy. It puts the focus on the text and not what it looks like.

    I also like that it’s free and that I have the files on my computer, (and on github in my case)
