One other thought, Joe.
When you think of “ professionals “, remember that they are human people too, and so, also make innocent mistakes that can seem devastating to others.
When I was little, I put up with the word “ stupid “ until I have a real problem with that word today.
You can call me asshole, sh..head, and any number of other things, and we can both laugh at it.
Call me “ stupid “, and we are going to fist city right now.
I think the single greatest PROFFESSIONAL F..K-up, is the name they give us.
“Excuse me, you say I’m a deficit ? You dare say that from birth, by existing, I’m a disorder?”
Would you like to hear what I have to say to you, Mr. Proffessional ?
This is the same kind of professor that tells us not to call people by the color of their skin, but we can call a quarter of the population a double negative, and That’s alright.
I’ve seen somewhere else on the site here a line that says “call us Attention Different Direction. That certainly seems fitting, and it’s not calling us a person who is “ Bad, Wrong, and Invalid As a Human Being.”
It matters.
You are a “Credit”. Not a Deficit.
