@bashour_nazira I have always understood autism to be a neurodevelopmental difference rather than an actual absence of ability. I wish that the existence of developed intelligent autistics inspired other autistics to develop themselves, rather than cause resentment.
@RavacholAlex I have tried to explain this many times. Without private property ownership and surplus goods, the need for hierarchies is diminished significantly. No hierarchy = no patriarchy or matriarchy.
@disc0daydream Oh so you don't owe me an explaination but your employees owe you an explaination for their disability? Sometimes when things are at their worst all we can muster is "I simply can't." They don't owe you an explaination and you aren't entitled to one either.
@valleyboyvoice He's right though, you think it's because he read some anonymous chat but what if it's because he is a living example himself? The data ignores people like that, most are never diagnosed. You can't rely solely on that data because it has blindspots!
@number_pizza111 Nah I graduated college in fall 2022. ChatGPT came out in November and popularized early 2023. Completely missed low interest low cost homes, and the covid era jobs - those were earlier. Worst part is I had to watch them come and go without being able to do anything. Born 98.
@godlightgrace@RockyLotito I genuinely don't understand. When I feel like I can't even get out of bed I just expand "getting out of bed" into a step by step process. First blankets off, then feet on floor, then stand, and so on. What am I missing here?
@disc0daydream Those questions are a bit rhetorical, I understand. My point is that disability is on the rise everywhere. I don't think you have any reason to believe that gen z disproportionally focuses on health due to some personal moral failing.
@disc0daydream What does this mean?
"I’m all for taking care of yourself. But it’s been taken advantage of, all in the name of “protecting my mental health.”"
How do you know it's being taken advantage of?
@AliArthPainter Maybe you don't understand. Boys are framed as agressive and poorly behaved while girls are framed as crazy and poorly behaved. Neither is the correct framing but this framing creates a disproportional impact to boys because agressive behavior is more outwardly impactful.
@hnj3pd I don't think the distinction matters at all for this discussion. The point is what may be "helpful" now could be discovered to be harmful later. The point is not to place psych docs on a pedestal, and that many of the certainties they express are deeply flawed.
@peachlybeloved Saying "You are not special" doesn't exactly seem humanizing. Anti-intellectualism is a problem, pointing out faulty logic shouldn't be a moral issue. If a large group of people are banding together on the shared faulty logic, that seems like a big issue.
