'''Tone Tags''' or '''Tone Indicators''' are tools coined by the neurodivergent community in order to communicate what tone, behavior, and/or intention they are trying to share over text/messaging/online communication. This is because many neurodivergent individuals tend to struggle with deciphering implications, especially online.
Tone tags are useful in many ways. They help neurodivergent individuals feel safer/less anxiety, help promote communication, and can even be helpful for neurotypical individuals as to not misinterpret something said over messages/online.
Though they can be helpful to some, some individuals have trauma towards tone tags. This could because someone was manipulated by another individual with tone tags, possible trauma from tone tags, and more reasons. Due to this, no one should be forced to use tone indicators.
Below is a comprehensive list of tone tags. Each will be followed by an example on how to use said tags.

For individuals who have been through trauma, the word "victim" is often considered offensive, and the word "''survivor"'' is preferred, as it promotes strength, and does not paint the picture of a trauma survivor being "weak."
===Fakeclaiming===
Fakeclaiming, the act of claiming something is fake, is not a neurodivergent-specific term, though with the rise of individuals being more open about their neurodiversity, fakeclaiming has been on the rise in many communities. One such example is r/fakedisordercringe, a subreddit with the intention of exposing those who fake disorders.
Although these individuals have good intentions, some have shown hostility towards people they deem as fakers. One such case was when a user on the subreddit r/fakedisordercringe made a discord server to "catch" those who faked plurality, even going as far to fake plurality themselves.
While they have good intentions, many of them have fakeclaimed those who are not faking in the first place. There are, in fact, individuals who fake disorders, but many do not.
One channel on YouTube makes compilations of individuals who "fake" disorders. While r/fakedisordercringe has rules against not censoring individuals names or social media users, this compilation channel does not, making it very easy for harmful individuals to send these individuals threats.
==Flag/Symbol==
The original rainbow symbol, was coined specifically for autism, and is often mistakenly used as a representative of neurodivergence as a whole. One of the earliest uses of the rainbow infinity symbol was for Autistic Pride Day, created in 2005 by the group ''Aspies for Freedom'', and the symbol has been widely adopted in the years since by many autistic individuals and autistic-run organizations.
