enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Kamala Harris Didn’t Lose Because of Racism8·1 month agoIf you think of the democratic party as first and foremost a fundraising organization, their actions start to make sense.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people17·3 months agoThe RFK Jr episodes also led me to believe that RFK Jr is probably not as neurotypical as he probably wants to think.
Which is not surprising considering the amount of hatred and seething rage that some unrecognized neurodivergent people (primarily low support needs) have for anyone exhibiting neurodivergent traits.
After years of social rejection (especially by family) and being denied support, many neurodivergent people learn to mask their traits at all costs. So when they see others openly express their traits or receive accommodations, it can feel deeply triggering, even infuriating. This resentment often fuels a cycle of shame and suppression that repeats across generations in ND families
Most of the late-diagnosed autistics/ADHDers in my circle have experienced abuse from undiagnosed autistic/ADHD parents. These parents, having been forced to mask their traits due to less obvious support needs, often harshly suppress the same traits in their children to avoid stigma.
Some people who’ve struggled want to ease the path for others; others believe everyone should struggle as they did. The latter are the ones who go on to try to abuse their kids (and sometimes a whole country) out of being neurodivergent.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people31·3 months agoAlso, the term Asperger’s was coined in Nazi Germany to help determine which patients with autism (back then considered a subgroup of schizophrenia) were fit for labor camps and which were destined for death camps.
Which is part of the reason we don’t use the label Asperger’s anymore.
Why does one have to be correct? It seems like both are happening.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Texas cops arrest 11-year-old honors student and put him in solitary confinement for three daysEnglish18·2 years agoDo you think that being in close proximity to a school shooting increases the risk of a school shooting?
Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.
The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My dog is on an antibiotic for Lyme disease and he will not sleep at night because his stomach is upsetEnglish4213·2 years agoWhat does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?
Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you’re in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don’t treat you like such a burden.
Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog’s WHOLE life. You’re enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won’t help him feel better.
Instead you’re locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with demands other than by isolating?English3·2 years agoUgh, stop commenting here, you’ve already shown you have no idea how to help autistic people and you’re running your mouth about shit you don’t understand.
Don’t come at me with this bullshit about you working in disability care, either. The world is full of shit disability workers; it’s not the flex you think it is.
You’re not even part of this community, you just stumbled across it. Kindly fuck off.
The no inner monologue thing threw me for a loop too. No wonder they all manage to get shit done. I’ve always had at least two layers of narration plus music.
I don’t have aphantasia, but I can’t imagine faces very well. I am extremely face blind, though.

enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Autism@lemmy.world•I always thought it was called "learning" and that people enjoyed itEnglish2·2 years agoI actually went on my city’s subreddit and posted saying I was autistic and hated capitalism and looking for friends. It worked out great.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Chat@beehaw.org•What's an equivalent replacement for the word "lame"?English4·2 years agoThis is great! I’ve been noticing more ableism in my own vocabulary, but was frustrated with not knowing enough good substitutes. Thanks!
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Chat@beehaw.org•What's an equivalent replacement for the word "lame"?English4·2 years agoI appreciate your nuanced take.
It’s Dutch uwu speak, but the real version would not be much better: “Oeps! De trein is stuk. Wij zijn heel hard aan het werk om dit te maken. Misschien kan je beter fietsen.”
(Oops! The train is broken. We’re working very hard to repair it. Maybe you’d be better off biking.)
