perpetually going through some things

@MissConstrue @Loucovey looking at the things they've posted on their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/people/Sweden-Reunite-the-Samson-Family/61560920537379/), I'm not getting the impression this has anything to do with religion, and everything to do with the social services believing the daughters were being physically abused. Especially the letter from their lawyer to the court of appeals (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=122159086160364017&set=pb.61560920537379.-2207520000&type=3)

@MissConstrue @Loucovey I've known several Swedish families (Christian and Muslim) that were a lot stricter than that with no state intervention. It's IME very unlikely to have your kids taken away without some kind of physical abuse.
@MissConstrue I can't say if this is false, but I've never heard of it and can't find any Swedish site about it, nor any hits on any Swedish news sites

@cstross aah, that explains it. Elvanse did help me a lot

At last here, an autism diagnosis fast-tracks you to an ADHD diagnosis, though no idea how that would interact with the NHS treating private diagnosis as second-class.

I'm surprised in general that there's a public health system that's even more stingy with meds than Sweden tbh >_>

@cstross forgive my ignorance, but what kind of meds would you get with an autism diagnosis?
@cstross I know many people in Sweden get around similar public health queue times by paying ~€2-3k to get a private diagnosis within a month. I was surprised by how validating it felt to get one, but it's, of course, a very personal thing
@cstross I have the impression this is pretty common for autistic authors. Emotionally influencing others is a normal thing for neurotypicals to do, but autistics treat that as an interface they don't have permission for.
@msh @emilyyoung @cxberger the video I saw was mostly stills too, but there was some very noticeable eye wobble going on

@WellsiteGeo corporate clients for automated systems like customer service, data analysis, internal support, surveillance, code generation, etc. Most of them don't work very well, but they look like they do so people keep paying.

There are also private individuals with their own subscriptions that use LLMs for any number of recreational or professional things, but I doubt they're where the real money is.
