I hate when “high functioning autism” is used as a synonym for “mild autism”

Having mild autims does NO mean the person will be high functioning.

The level of functioning is determined by an entire constellation of other factors, from whether the person grew up in a supportive or abusive family environment, a supportive or abusive socio-cultural environment (the sociopolitical landscape), any co-occurring physical or mental comorbidities…

EDIT:

This post wasnt an advocacy for the term “mild autism” as the most ideal term, it was a vent about the deep inadequacy of using “HFA”

I think a well phrased “level 1 autism” (needs support) definition is preferable to the term “mild autism”, when generalising people’s entire clinical picture

Can you switch Hive Protector from removing comments to simply flagging them for review on mobile browser iOS?

I want Hive Protector to remove and flag for review comments/posts from some users, who are active in sub A

But for sub B, i want it to simply flag the comments/posts and send them for review, not remove them.

Can i do this on mobile browser iOS?

Thank you.

Unable to add automation due to bug! [mobile browser/iOS]

I was trying to add an automation that displays an educational message when certain terms are used, but that excludes some other keywords

I cannot add the “excludes other keywords” part of the automation, as the upper part of the screen gets blocked, so i cannot scroll up to save it

In 2014, a study found the US to not be a democracy, but an oligarchy

I was able to read this years ago before they locked it behind paywalls. But luckily, the internet archive comes to our rescue!

https://archive.org/details/gilens\_and\_page\_2014\_-testing\_theories\_of\_american\_politics.doc

And keep in mind, the data was collected this was from the 1981, until 2002; before Trump, before Citizens United…

Conclusion;

“Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.”

Can one add “related/friend” subs over mobile browser?

I don’t have a PC, only a phone.

And obviously over mobile app, the mod tools are very limited.

This thing permanently messed up my brain (withdrawal effects continuing many months after cessation)

I took Lamictal for epilepsy for a little less than a year. It failed to control my seizures

It has been many months, 6 (or 9?) months, since i gradually quit.
The side effects and withdrawal were similar and were an absolute nightmare.
But worst of all i am feeling pretty distinctly how the withdrawal is still continuing to this day, just in much more muted form

It somehow has permanently changed my mental process and reactions, in terms of increased irritability, restlessness, and having more urgent thoughts than before, it’s very hard to describe

Either it set off some kind of feedback loop/ratchet effect, or it directly altered my brain chemistry

This is just a warning to any new users, that this is one of the possible outcomes of taking this med.

Its Bisan From Gaza, This Is Life After 'Ceasefire'

this is my first time posting rather than commenting.

I just wanted to share this very touching video on current daily life in Gaza, filmed by Gazans, because us who are not Palestinians tend to only see Gaza and its people from the news, often reduced to faceless statistics.

זו הפעם הראשונה שאני מפרסם במקום להגיב.

רציתי לשתף את הסרטון האינטימי הזה על חיי היומיום הנוכחיים בעזה, שצולם על ידי תושבי עזה, כי אנחנו, שאינם פלסטינים, נוטים לראות את עזה ואת תושביה רק מהחדשות, לעיתים מצומצמים לסטטיסטיקות חסרות פנים.

ms rachel: “[families in umm al-khair] have faced years of violence and displacement from nearby israeli settlers and soldiers… they put up a barbed-wire fence blocking the village's main road, keeping children from safely reaching their school... facing tear gas and rifles from soldiers”
