Been called both but “gifted” irritates me more as an adult. It’s essentially like people saying that you’re the “good” kind of autistic while disregarding the efforts you put in to make it as far as you have. It’s insidious because it hides because the guise of a compliment.
In the 80s, you weren’t called autistic or ADHD.
You were called either gifted or retarded. Usually retarded.
A lot of you cringed hard reading that

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people?
disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.
