Neurodiverse discrimination should not be tolerated!
I do not believe that twitch is doing enough to make the platform a safe place for Neurodiverse people in same way it does for other forms of discrimination.
Twitch should provide basic instructions of how to recognize Neurodiverse discrimination on the twitch platform but also related platforms such as Discord and twitter.
- For example if a person has disclosed that they are neurodiverse and another user continually posts comments such as weird or repeated post gif and emotes under the disclosed persons messages. This would be harassment and victimization - It should also be made clear that streamers are not allowed to use diagnosed terms as insults and this includes umbrella terms such as neurodivergent. While the words themselves are not bad the intentions behind the words should be reviewed with streamers who have been open about their own neurodiversity with diagnoses or stated belief that they may be neurodiverse be also considered for context.
I would also like twitch to provide front page to streamers who are neurodiverse to share their experiences of being discriminated against and open dialogue about it.
