I was an AuDHD kid in the 90s. That specific word was thrown at me a lot by both adults and my peers, especially because I lose the ability to speak when I’m stressed/overstimulated. I guess it still hurts when I hear it or read it, and going off this thread that’s a “me” problem. Definitely regret posting my original comment

Persimmon can be blue, but that picture is edited and over-saturated. They’re darker and have a powder coat, like blueberries. Wouldn’t be surprised if the apple picture was also edited, but they can have pink flesh.
