Neuro+Queer but not Neuroqueer?

Just learned that the person who first coined "neuroqueer" isn't someone whose work I want to be boosting, but I haven't heard any viable alternatives, so I'm wrestling with that.

There is a demonstrated correlation between neurodivergent traits and LGBTQ+ identities, so it only makes sense to have an intersectional term for someone whose neurodivergence affects their interest/ability in performing assigned gender. I doubt she's going to make any money off it at this point, but is that justification enough for continuing to use it?
