Sandhya Menon from @onwardsandupwardspsych expressed her discomfort regarding the term “neurospicy” some time ago now, yet it continues to be used by so many. She noted that, in her experience as a woman growing up in India, being labeled as “spicy” was never perceived positively. As someone who benefits from white Anglophone privilege and settler privilege, I believe it is crucial to listen to the perspectives of those from other cultures that are affected negatively by language and make changes. I feel that “neurosparkly” is a significantly more positive and affirming term. Let’s make the switch!
