Reframing the Language of Psychology

Psychology's language often carries negative connotations, presenting feelings of discomfort as “something wrong” within the individual. This perspective is often tied to neurotypical standards, reinforcing the idea that there is only one “right” way to approach problems. However, this narrow view can actually hinder problem-solving rather than help. The autistic community is pushing back against this model, advocating for a more holistic and inclusive approach to mental health.

Autism and the Environment

Autistic individuals are often labeled as “disordered,” with defective brains, despite their remarkable abilities to achieve high levels of education and professional success. It's crucial to recognize that the environment plays a significant role in perceived disabilities. Many autistic individuals argue that a more natural and inclusive environment would enable them to thrive without the stigma of being labeled "disordered."

Reconstructing Negative Perceptions

In psychology, terms like delusion vs. perception, defiance vs. self-defense, rejection sensitivity dysphoria vs. gut feeling, narcissism vs. self-esteem, depressed vs. frustrated, and anger vs. righteous indignation are often used. These terms can significantly influence how we perceive ourselves. It is essential to reframe these terms to understand that what often feels like a flaw can actually be a sign of resilience and strength.

By reframing these psychological perspectives, we can better understand and accept our own experiences and emotions. This shift can lead to a more positive outlook on our mental well-being and foster a more inclusive and empathetic approach to mental health.
