A collective noun for people on the spectrum?

One for Debbie....

Apparently there are many other collective nouns for them according to what they are doing.

Authentic Autistics?

To use part of your thread title

The Autistic Collective ^^

I'm pretty sure I have a journal with that on it somewhere.

Bagsie Captain Scarlet!

A group of undiagnosed Autistics would certainly be a "confusion".

- being keenly observed by a clowder of cats...

Given how self organising & co-operative we are, maybe a "clowder" of Autists?

Or perhaps to borrow from an old not very PC joke, a thicket of Autists? :c)

A floe of 'spergs??

I like that!

I posed this question a few days ago and quickly received a lively response.

Some excellent ideas have been put forward; however,  I think we've all missed the obvious, which I've only just seen..........

We are, of course, a 'spectrum' of austists, are we not?

Ben

An ‘infiltration?’

because it kind of feels like we’re hiding amongst the Normies.

That's my fav one :) 

You learn something new every day ^^

I would respectfully propose that the collective noun should be a  "nonconformity" of neurodivergents ...

An idiosyncratic- love that

Autistics

This sounds great!

Love that, we are an army of autistics fighting against neuronormativity!

a Neurokin or Neurotribe .

I think this misses one of our key issues - most of us don't like company for what ever reason.

I'm now tending towards a dischord of autists.

That then excludes those with ADHD and bipolar so in the interest of inclusivity should we be a dischord of neurodivergents or just a confusion of nurodivergents?

It’s often used, a Neurokin or Neurotribe .

That's thoughtful

That's good
