Identification OR Diagnosis - Which Should I Use?

Diagnosis is a medical term meaning “to gain knowledge”. Some people do not like the word “diagnosis” because it follows the medical model of disability by being deficit based – that is: you go to the doctor when something is wrong with you and get diagnosed with what needs to be cured.

Identification is a more affirming term as you are stating that neurodivergence is a part of your identity - a part of what makes you 'you'.
