An alphabet of conditions?

I get very confused by all the abreviations used for the various things we have and my brain makes some rather strange interpretations of what these could mean, like EUPD, European Union Police Dept, its never anything even vaguely medical. Are we at risk of being overrun with alphabets describing us, do they become meaningless after a while?

    As a rule of thumb, if the abbreviation is used here then it is best to assume it is related to neurodivergence.

    As more and more nuance to neurodivergence is discovered then the acronyms will grow.

    Of course we could form a splinter group to protest agains acronyms - call ourselves Autists Against Acronyms, or AAA for short Wink
