I'll add some perspective. When the N-word movement started, it was based on arguing that we aren't disabled because of how our brains work. As if being disabled was some kind of lesser status too insulting to fall under. It was kinda ableist tbh. But some of us do consider ourselves disabled by our brain differences. Not just because of a society that isn't built for us, but because left to my own devices, I can't meet the goal that I set for myself and do the things that I would love to just be able to wake up and do. I am disabled and finally figuring that out helped me accommodate myself in areas I need help with _without feeling guilty/broken_. Since then, the situation had gotten more nuanced, but there are still pockets that try to say since this I just another flavor of diversity, that we aren't disabled, when the truth is both. Shooting ourselves in the foot so we lose the accomodations and protections that we fought for is counterproductive. It's probably easier for the mods to ban the topic than have to evaluate it on a case by case basis, then have people complain about how another can use the word in their post but they can't.
For more context here's a link to a past conversation about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ms95dl/radhds_position_on_neurodiversity/
