“Neurodiverse = wrong/broken/evil” is a brainworm that I wish would die. Sucks that it probably never will.
The worlds most evil people are able and “normal” for lack of a better word anyway.

For sure. I’ve noticed a trend over the past year of autistic people being clocked as narcissists. Not sure why that particular one is in vogue but still.
I’ve noticed an increase in pathologising people as an insult in general. There are so many armchair pop psychologists throwing around terms they don’t understand.
I really think a lot of this is a result of r*ddit-type online culture. I don’t think people used “narcissist” to refer to the pathology in casual conversation much before it became really popular online. Previously, I think people just used it as an insult to tell people they were selfish. I think it also comes from things like police interrogation video slop that the YouTube algorithm shovels onto people. Copslop-brain.
Liberal self-care slop machine contributes a lot to it. “Hmm why is this person not behaving typically, in a way I expect them to, what’s their secret agenda, why aren’t they like everyone else? Oh I know they must only care about themselves, they must be what they call a narcissist! Omg those are dangerous people. I heard I should stay away from them at all costs. :O”
