And they will be abandoned in their old age. Cause their kids will definitely resent

Are you actually?

My mom passed down itchy af skin lol

I know a kid in our neighborhood with his abusive mom. He's got a lot of signs of disconnect and the dark triad which lead to a killer... He's like 12 rn. I will not be surprised if one day he kills his mom... and I won't blame him either

Half joking, my siblings have slight genetic autism but idk if i do

We tried to help him. His mom banned him from coming over to our house.

that's awful

Genetic autism?

I won't blame any of these forced trans kids if they kill their parents some day

Ooof! Kirk that's sad. Poor kid

like autism that's been passed down

I don't know if I've heard of genetic autism before.

Poor kid

well its a thing *shrug*

Hm. You know Aspergers and Autism are often used interchangeably?

I know I'd definitely be a better parent than these jerks, but it's still a crazy responsibility I couldn't bring myself to

your message is glitched lmao-

oh wait sending a message fixed it

Yeah, but I don't believe they're the same thing

I know the basics of autism, but I don't have a PhD

PhD's don't mean much, since Mrs. Biden is best doctor ever!!!! 🤣

Autism is more like being a stereotypical public school SPED kid. Aspergers is more like someone relatively normal with problems

LOL

Aspergers then, because they're perfectly normal- just have some behavior quirks

P sure she's an honorary doctor... which means she never actually earned a PhD

I got a brother with Aspergers, so I know what you're talking about

👍

Unfortunately he has had a rough 22 years

I learned in my PEOPEL tutor training class that aspergers is classified under the autism spectrum but it's in the high functioning end

Yeah. Technically it's now under the autism spectrum umbrella... but I've noticed those of us who have experience with it tend to see the two as very different and the classification doesn't seem to work.

Poor guy!

And i wasn't posting a thumb up for your brother's aspergers lol- i was thumbing up for you knowing what i was talking about

I know, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who takes it like that in conservative circles

Yeah, i don't remember why exactly they blanket it under autism other than social difficulties, but my experience has been with people who have many many different situations and they are all classified as autistic because they have the basic traits, but at different levels

He has not been helped by bad parents and isolating schools

We had this convo in here with a few other people feels like a few days ago and generally agreed the same awkward umbrella was kinda weird since the needs / 'treatment' for low vs high functioning/aspies was so drastically different

Things like this make me wish i wasnt stuck at home even more- i wanna help ppl

Yeah, everyone has different needs which makes the generalization a bit awkward, I agree😆. Some people have extreme sensory issues and ticks, some don't have obvious ticks, so are more high functioning in different aspects, and so one and it's just a weird overall blanket diagnosis with such diverse and unique people

yeh. I'd be more down for an aspies spectrum and an autisum spectrum... and just recognizing they're both socializing developmental things... anyway.. who knows why the psychologist association chooses to reclassify...

Yeah, I would like to ask someone in that field what's with the classification system. Maybe it was easier for medical or financial reasons, idk.

I don't really see the reason to reclassify Gender Identity Disorder to Gender Dysphoria
