I thought the word and the definition sounded beautiful, but then I also learned that it was coined in 2017 and has been accused of imposing outside culture. Namely, here is a criticism I found on Twitter and Reddit but without further attribution or detail:
Just wanted to share and see what the community thought about it.
As someone that can still live a somewhat normal life, I am of course far less negative feeling about my autism. But I know many people that can't get their body to do what they want it to do in the very least. And while they have many good days and do enjoy some of the benefits of autism, overall they are certainly not as positive about theirs as I am with mine.
For me, just hanging out with other like-minded people gets rid of any negatives I have with mine. But some have much greater challenges that can't be mitigated by even a specially crafted environment and comfortable social situations.
That's well-said. Sounds like it really depends on the level of needs for support and once again on how our society treats neurodivergence.
