This is fascinating and I'm glad research continues to happen into autism.

I just hope there wouldn't be unintended consequences where a less-enlightened parent would give up their newborn child if they thought they were different, should this prove to be viable research.

I threw up when I took Trintellix at 4:00 AM EST this morning. I'm off the Vyvanse and Abilify. Oh, and my psychiatrist sucks. A little help here?

wow, ten minutes 😜

Like I can stop, LOL

Group dynamics is NT psychology, they feel they've studied it and learned it to name it, they acknowledge it's not the happiest thing for people - but just like I complained about the "construct," idea, that's the end of their inquiry, "people," have this group dynamics thing that keeps ruining the world, pity.
.
It doesn't seem to occur to them to ask why it exists, where it comes from. All these unfortunate aspects of "Human Nature," don't seem to need an explanation. They are adorable when they try to do psychology, but they can't see spanking and "normal," child abuse until it reaches spectacular levels, so for them there is no apparent cause for their group conflict, it's just the way it is.
.
They have a cause, abuse, with no effect they can see or acknowledge, and an effect, conflict, with no cause that they need to know about.
.
There is a genetic factor, I think, but race isn't it, I think there's a gene and a neurotype sort of taking over the world, across any and all races that has spanking and patriarchy and war.

Any fellow Autistics on here have a good recommendation for truly seamless socks?

So far, everything I've found that is labeled "seamless" is straight up lying.

Neurodivergence & How to Avoid Living With Regrets

I found a local place for adult psychological assessment (for autism and ADHD) but they only do it for autism. I’m pretty sure thats yes for me but not really sure about ADHD. Besides I was thinking if it’s really ADHD, some meds might help. So I guess I’m back to square one with all the confusion about my neuro-state (?) #Neurospicy #adhd #ActuallyAutistics
