There’s this show on that I’m only coming in like halfway through called “Are You Autistic?” and atm it’s going into how afab people are so misdiagnosed and how there isn’t a lot of research on autistic afab people and how afab people typically “mask” better and more often
It seems pretty good and interesting, and I’m relating to a lot of it at the moment, especially about masking. Has anyone else seen it? What are your thoughts?
It’s actually being narrated by an autistic person which is really cool, and they’re talking about stimming and sensory overload in easily understandable ways
Disabled people are labeled as failures and literally considered unworthy of living if they can’t be independent.
Meanwhile, it’s socially acceptable for abled men to expect women to be their servants, to the point that women who refuse to cook or clean for a man are told that they’ll die alone.
Autistic people are assumed to lack empathy as an excuse to see them as subhuman.
Meanwhile, abled men are actively encouraged to lack empathy.
I can find no lie, nor even any untruth, here.
In fact it’s considered a symbol of social success to completely outsource most domestic care and administrative and finance arrangements for yourself to paid subordinates, but if that “driver” you have is because you’re just not able to drive instead of ~too important~ that’s … bad somehow? If you pay someone to clean your kitchen because you’re Busy then you’re Successful but if you pay someone to clean your kitchen because you’re chronically ill you’re a Failure it makes 0 sense
me, long ago, perfectly innocent: hm, i don’t have a lot of followers, but i wanna perform well for them so i’m going to construct a good queue system and post content that they’ll enjoy !!
a girl i know told me how a guy she knows once moved out from his parents, ate nothing but fries and meatballs for HALF A YEAR, and got scurvy. imagine the doctor’s face when this guy shows up with like his gums bleeding and the doc has to fucking say DUDE…. THATS SCURVY…. in this day and age
this is turning into a “how a person i know got scurvy” thread and im so here for this, please share your scurvy stories if you have any
the other day someone posted pics from the reddit page r/zerocarbs where these fools only ate meat and 0 vegetables or fruits and all the posts were about various symptoms of scurvy. i died when one literally read ‘i don’t want to start the vitamin C debate again but’
THE VITAMIN C DEBATE
My mother told me all about scurvy when I was five and trying to resist eating pumpkin and let me tell you it’s been 35 years and I still get nervous if I go for two days without eating a green vegetable.
I told my own little picky eater about scurvy, rickets etc and now one of her most frequently requested lunch items is baby spinach, closely followed by carrots.
I’m not saying everyone should mildly traumatize their children to make them understand that vegetables are vital to ongoing possession of your teeth and organs, but.. no, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Go for it.
some guys i used to know went on a boys only road trip. they decided they were only going to eat things they could cook on the engine block of the car.
two of them got scurvy. one of them drank so much jagermeister + red bull that he temporarily lost the ability to see in colour.
