Avoid ableist language

- Are you unknowingly using ableist language? This one is a bit of an uncomfortable topic for a lot of people, but I think without us realizing so many ableist terms have made their way into our everyday vocabulary which means that they're being used within companies and also in external marketing as well which is something that we really need to avoid in terms of not adding any more trauma to neuro divergent people or people with mental illnesses too. I think a really good example of this is the use of the words mad, mental, insane when we're referring to something really good that's happened. And we don't kind of realize the weight of those words, because they've been used to marginalize neuro divergent and people with mental illnesses in the past. So a really kind of quick and simple change that you can make is instead of using the words mad, insane, mental, replacing those words with wild, exciting, amazing. And just making sure that the words that you're using don't have connotations that could offend or traumatize people within the workplace.
