Boy am I glad that I never got an official diagnosis right now
Hello fellow neurotypical human. I too am glad I am a normal person that likes things like small talk and shirt tags. So, how about this weather? Do you also love the sound that office lights make?
Is liking those lil noises that most people don't pay attention to an autistic thing? I've got really sensitive hearing, I used to be able to tell when a TV was turned on and off from across the house because of a distinct little noise they made as they powered up or whatever. (New TVs don't do that and it makes me sad) I love shit like that.
Or is this about the sensory overload flavor of autism where ongoing noises might be difficult to handle?
I was referring to sensory overload mostly. For me, I process 10x to 100x more information than neurotypicals so I hear a lot more of the background sounds that others filter out. This goes for all sensory inputs too. Daylight is excruciating for me. perfumes and candles almost feel like a burning sensation in my nose at times. And the microfiber myths are true. Fuck microfiber.
If I get overstimmulated, those sensory issues get overloaded. and Those sensory issues are what cause the overestimation. So, for example, crowds start out as a chatter noise that I assume NTs hear, but over time it becomes an unbearable wall of unfilterable sound, akin to horror movie tension moments where they use sound to ramp it up. It plateaus and never subsides unless I remove myself from the area. This reddit thread does a good job of showing what it's like. It's not perfectly representative but it's hits pretty close.
This sounds a lot like the "final solution" schtick. They've decided to euthanize the homeless, and are moving on to the next "other" on their list.
'covid will be over in 4 weeks'
Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April [2020]
It could've been
Was listening to an old episode recently where they mention that (as of time of recording, somewhere in 2022 IIRC) something like 95% of China never even went into lockdowns at all and people were mostly just wearing masks but otherwise living normally. Meanwhile it's 2025 and the pandemic's going strong here and all I can do is wear an N95 forever while hoping I don't randomly get disabled. Death to America.
We talked about autism in the oval office, folks, and we – many brilliant folks, folks like RFK Jr. here, brilliant minds, strong minds... many people are saying this – we think we found the answer, the final answer, the best answer, for autism...
the answer is going to be eugenics.
RFKJ’s mind so strong it was irresistibly delicious to parasitic worms
I for one welcome our new Goa'uld overlords
I can see it now: "Autism is an invention of woke coddling liberal Nazis. Anyone high functioning doesn't have it and needs to try harder and stop being fucking lazy slaves who act different, just fucking man up and uh maybe accept working in the fields all day under horrible conditions is all you're good for. Anyone who's low functioning is just uh childhood vaccine damage which is why we're banning all vaccines for children until they're at least 10 years old. Also all educational and workplace accommodations (and relevant protections) are hereby rescinded and I will be directing federal agencies and contractors to stop engaging in them by the end of the year. So to conclude prevent autism by not getting dangerous vaccines and also not engaging in wokeness and accommodating people, just bully them instead please. Thank you"
Tomorrow are they announcing the TRUMP AUTISM CURE GOLD MEME COIN?
Even if it's a real preventative measure (and it won't be), the idea that dropping it immediately isn't viable, it has to wait a day just so you can build hype is just so fucking dystopian.
If you had a universal cure for cancer today, wouldn't you drop it immediately and not 6/7 central tomorrow? The fuck are they waiting for? "Oh it's laundry day, I didn't want to announce this world first, life changing and completely revolutionary discovery in my pyjamas"
They're going to shoot me with a gun.
Behold! Its a mask... an actual mask
Guessing this is going to be to do with women taking paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen and Tylenol) while pregnant, a bunch of studies recently came out showing a casual link with autism, but the majority consensus is that it's fine to take paracetamol while pregnant and is actually recommended as a pain reliever, as opioids and NSAIDs are not recommended for use while pregnant as they could harm the fetus. Paracetamol is one of the few pain relievers women can take while pregnant currently, which is quite surprising to me, I always thought it was a blanket ban on pretty much all pain relievers. If paracetamol actually is harmful that would really suck for women given the above, one of their few options for pain relief while pregnant would be removed. Though I have serious doubt on how valid the science is here, this is probably RFK Jr just looking for a quick win. I know it can be bad for your liver in long term use, but better than most NSAIDs.
Good post. They're probably gonna just start shaming pregnant women who take paracetamol for pain. After all, god wants women to suffer during all stages of pregnancy (since Eve ate the apple).
[edit] I watched some of the autism press conference, and said "the only downside" is that pregnant women will need to "tough it out" a little more
One nitpick:
showing a casual link with autism
causal link? Or just a correlation. Probably just a correlation, and I imagine it's a very difficult one to untangle, since pregnant people taking more tylenol than average probably have other factors that could effect the fetus.
There remains no casual link to acetaminophen and autism, only an association -- of which studies have also found none.
When I was pregnant I got sick and my doctor had me take Tylenol to keep the fever down since a high fever can be bad for the fetus. Dunno what else a pregnant person could take if they get sick, which you’re more prone to while you’re pregnant I believe.
what is Dr Phil's medical opinion?
It's just as valid as Doctor Oz's and RFJ jr's, which is to say not at all.
Trump appointed Dr Oz as the Administrator of Medicare and Medicaid. Trump appointed RFK as the Secretary of HHS.
A couple months ago, I saw Dr Phil participating in ICE raids.
The burgerreich is so fucking lame man. We didn't even get aesthetically interesting fascists, they look like shit. It truly is a reflection of the real nature of amerikkan empire
the cure for autism? chilling with the bros
Oh god he ate that thing
Hard labor on a corporate farm?
Who wants to bet me half a griftcoin it's vaccines (again)?
I'd also consider "the cause is people with autism not getting sterilized" in case they're speeding up cranking the eugenics dial.
„Being left-wing is caused by autism“
For $20K you can have a Trump Real Card™ that will prevent autism for a single child, 100% guaranteed. Be careful though, it expires in a year
Turns out doing the Ludovico technique with Prager U videos cures autism. Who would have guessed
This is gonna be great
