I’m not even surprised. I’m horrified out of my mind. I don’t feel safe in the slightest (even at a blue state). I’m also slightly numb to the cruelty and increasing extremism shown by both Democrats and especially Republicans/MAGA.

Just went to autistic places online and saw that here I am also a minority so decided to Vent.

I belive that human life shall be number one priority to protect. I have seen studies that prove that human life begins when two cells connect (forgot word for that in english). So I'm pro life. That somehow makes me mysoginist man who only wants to controll women bodies.

I stand for actually checking up immigrants and who enters country so we know who's in and it helps catch potential criminals from migrant families later on when there's manhunt for them. That somehow makes me racist

I don't belive communism can not work on mass scale due to lazy people deciding to stop working or greedy ones trying to abuse the system for their own benefits. (I cannot deny that it often work for small communities, like that one villige in Indie you probably heard of or Tongan castaways island). Trying to controll to maintain communist system causes a lot of oppression to civilians

I believe that we shall not deny biological differences between regions but actually acknowledge them and use them for our common good (etc. Black individuals are faster runners on average while white individuals are faster swimmers on average). That somehow makes me racist and mysoginistic

Now take that most of y'all will make you hate me (I'm good minded mods, if you think it crosses sub rules just dm it and I'll remove this segment, pls don't permmaban me)

I cannot comprehend concept of transgender. For me if youre born with balls you're a man and with a puss you're a woman. And then they are these few genetic mutations which trans activists like to use to defend it is not birth determined. If you're so self hatred you shall go for a talk with psychological expert(idk exact word in english), not castrate yourself. I see people who do plastic operations to change their looks (etc. remove breast) on same level of body dismorphia as lookmaxxers who are so insecure about their height that they go through surgical procedures to make their legs longer and have to relearn to walk. Transgenderism seems same to me as transracialism. So now I somehow stand for trans genocide

>Federal agencies that terminated more than a thousand research grants at the University of California last year admitted that they used keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 to screen for projects that ran afoul of the Trump administration’s priorities.

>It’s an admission that lawyers for the research professors say is proof that the agencies illegally cancelled nearly $2 billion in grants. And that’s a major development in a lawsuit filed by UC researchers against the Trump administration to permanently get their grants back. The researchers’ legal team is now asking the judge in the case to skip a trial and formally declare that the White House repeatedly violated the constitution, including the First Amendment. A court hearing on whether that’ll happen is scheduled for Oct. 20.

>...

>The Department of Transportation identified six grants for projects worth about $42 million to terminate because they sought “transportation equity,” prioritized “disadvantaged communities,” or focused on “diversifying the transportation workforce” and “equity.”

>...

>The National Institutes of Health admitted to using an internal search tool to flag UC grants that mentioned “health equity,” “work force diversity,” “structural racism,” and “sexual orientation.” The NIH alone suspended or cancelled more than 1,000 UC grants, including nearly 700 at UCLA, related to vaccines, cancer research and disparities in health outcomes.

I can’t fathom why people hate immigrants and ignore climate risks. Do NT people not have the wiring to understand interconnected systems

Hello!

I am a proudly Autistic person, and I tried to write a paper that could help improve Autistic-Neurotypical communication. I also felt it was important to stress to others at my university that Autistic people have a culture of their own. Communications was not my major (CS was) and I only had 5 weeks in an accelerated course among others to write this. I tried to give it my best effort to use intercultural theories in my paper. I found it extremely hard to find supporting evidence due to autistic culture not being very well documented. I think I would like to revise this semi-rushed paper and make it something genuinely useful that could be shared. I would love to get feedback especially from other neurodivergent people who have experience in Autistic circles. Due to the rushed nature, there are most likely some big mistakes and misunderstandings.

This is a link to my old assignment.

Have you ever seen content about Autistic culture(s)? I thought it was amazing to learn about it and other disability cultures like Deaf culture.

I’m wish I wasn’t born British as I’m ashamed

Part of the Conclusion

The issues addressed in this review are significant not only because they affect diagnostic statistics or waiting lists, but because they shape how individuals experiencing psychological distress or neurodevelopmental differences are recognised and supported across health, education and the wider system of support and treatment. The evidence reviewed in this interim report indicates that the current position cannot be explained by a single narrative. In some areas - particularly among younger people - there is credible evidence of increasing psychological distress. In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of:

improved recognition changing help-seeking behaviour institutional incentives pressures within existing service pathways

Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability. These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including:

real increases in distress in some groups improved recognition of previously unmet need changing expectations about support systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance

Anybody in the media who is autistic today is a feminist or a political activist and people either don’t have autism or have autism lite within these groups

Women at the mild end are massively over represented and the men just aren’t autistic but full of themselves.

I’ve no doubt many are ignorant of the different levels of autism.

or multiple if that's your thing
