Hi, content/word-lists/tier-2/sanity-check.md says "sanity check" may be "derogatory to neurodiverse people". This sentence itself might be derogatory to neurodiverse people, because it propagates the popular misconception that neurodiverse people have mental health issues. Although it is true that some neurodiverse people do also have mental health issues, there are also other neurodiverse people who do not have mental health issues, so I suggest simply using "people with mental health issues" here so as not to perpetuate the confusion between these two different sets of brain conditions.

I submitted a pull request (#164) but it was ignored for 2 years.
