Twice exceptional
Twice exceptional is when some is considered academically gifted and has a learning disability (or any other neurodivergence) - and someone in my comments said if you have two neurodivergence it's called thrice exceptional (*vomit emoji*).
This ranks intelligence and implies a higher IQ is better
This implies people with learning disabilities and other neurodivergence cannot/do not normally have high IQs (which is positioned as a negative) and only certain people are (quote unquote) "exceptional".
Also, calling it exceptional gives me the same vibes as someone saying something isn't a disability, it's a superpower.
