Glossary

This page explains some of the words I use on Quietly Neurodivergent in plain English. You do not need to memorise anything – it’s here if and when you want to look something up.

On most articles, you can hover over or tap on highlighted words to see a small popup with the same definition. The explanations here describe how I’m using these terms on this site. They are not full medical or legal definitions, and they are not a substitute for professional advice.
