@bytesizedbits1@BigBNews I wouldn’t say all that, it means they aren’t getting a fair shot. Dee and Devens have both played TWO seasons of a strategic game and Dee won one of hers. The field is uneven
@MagellanVa@oliviasorbo_ Also, what you are describing technically used to be a separate diagnosis called child disintegrative disorder btw. It was only folded into autism in DSM-V (the recent version that also put Asperger’s in the autism category). Just FYI.
@MagellanVa@oliviasorbo_ Autism is a social and sensory disorder. That’s why you have such a wide range of people under the umbrella. Intelligence can be average or high as well, which completely changes the presentation. It doesn’t make the autism less real, but it makes the support needs less visible.
@thecavemommy@TealNoodles This is nine times out of 10 because of a comorbidity of intellectual disability. Autism is not a disorder of intelligence, it is social/sensory disorder. The presentation changes for average/high IQ folks but the mechanisms are the same.
@xvx23xvx@thecavemommy@TealNoodles Any *outward noticeable differences. What you see is not the whole story. Stop assuming you know what is happening in someone’s head to get to the level of functionality that you are judging them by. Autistic people can learn skills. Some nonspeaking folks even learn to speak.
@garvezthird@yoonchaecrmbs@Jxrmxine@stepclique It’s not erasing her to have the live backing vocals be the people who are currently singing live, you’re doing way too much over a very simple edit to make live performances sound more seamless
@ToomsBB_ Why do yall keep saying this? Imo she had the clearest argument during the Kamu/Jason Tea Party Scandal. She basically asked Kamu why it’s wrong for Jason to play the game the same way everyone else is. She clearly sees the mechanics of the game.
@MagellanVa@oliviasorbo_ Does he have an intellectual disability as well? Most autism diagnoses come with comorbidities, what you’re seeing isn’t always just autism.
@piperocktheory Well an OLED iPad is one screen, this would be two screens, one of which folds in half. It’s very cutting edge and has more technology, obviously it costs more
@durnt@thecavemommy@TealNoodles High functioning is falling out of favor because it forces the autistic person to keep a veneer of functionality and ignores the level of internal distress sustaining that functioning.
