Sure, and there are plenty of queer shit bags out there too but I doubt you'd make the same point about being tired of people wearing their sexuality like a badge of distinction. There are terrible people of color out there as well, would you tell entire demographics to stop flaunting their race/ethnicity?
It's as important for neurodivergent people to be visible and vocal advocates for their rights as it is for any other marginalized group
"Queer shit bags"? It's not a gender issue, I was saying exactly what I did say, specifically about the term neurodiversity, period. I'm not going to address your other head canon.
Queer is often used as a catch-all for gender and/or sexuality. Either way you took that, there are marginalized groups based on both of those things. And just because some queer people are shittty or have a superiority complex based on their gender/sexuality, doesn't mean that people being out and vocal about their lives is a bad thing.
It's not about neurodivergent people being smarter or better than neurotyoical people. It's about neurodivergent people acknowledging that our minds work differently than neurotyoicals and advocating for our rights. If you want to fixate on some ass clowns who make their neurodivergence their whole personality and use that to say that we, broadly, as a marginalized group shouldn't be visible, vocal, or (dare I say) proud of aspects of our neurodivergence, because "people wear it like a badge of distinction", you need to work on some of your internalized prejudice.
Do you tell neurotypicals to not be proud of themselves? Do you get mad about pride parades? If your answer to either of those questions was no, you need to ask yourself why it's different for neurodivergence
