This is why I prefer the word "celebrate". I didn't do anything to achieve neurodivergence, it's not an accomplishment, so why would I be proud of it? But I can be proud of the times when I can push past the executive dysfunction and actually tidy my room.

But I can surely celebrate neurodivergence.

But that's just me. I don't mind if other people want to shout "autistic pride". I used to get accused of being "proud" and "arrogant" a lot by a family member when I was mute or in shutdown, so that might be why I feel an aversion to that word.
