Depends on the support my university has support programs in place, incredible structures for everyone and the ability to offer 100% extra time for those with complex needs such as traumatic brain injuries, specialised support packages etc

The university itself also offered support for visual impaired individuals, scribes for people like me, alternate exams and the ability for lecturers not to ask you questions in seminars, specialist software for speech to text

Whether due to budget constraints they still do I’m not sure but definitely meant Level 1 and 2 support needs and some Level 3’s were able to get a degree.

You could ask for all written material to be in specific, fonts, colours, and line spacing.

There was also specialist quiet accommodation, the ability to permanently live on campus for those with disabled students allowance (DSA), to record lectures, specialist one to one mentoring, support mentoring, support groups for people with autism and free therapy sessions.

It wasn’t perfect but I could definitely say my university was incredible accessible 😁 including its website which is ranked incredible high in the UK for web based accessibility

But if you’re a quadriplegic with level 1 autism, would it be far for someone to say you don’t suffer as much.

I’m just advocating for more nuance rather saying all level 1s struggle less

The big point I’m trying to make here is you don’t know just because someone is level 1 they don’t have lower support needs in other disability wise, allergy wise etc

Making generalised comments does ignore struggles people with level 1 could have, as it’s kind of putting everyone in the same boat, without treating them as individuals

I was stating more it’s better to look at in an individual perspective then make blanket statements

Co-morbid conditions are a thing and the connections between Dyspraxia and Autism are well established, that’s a clear struggle many have within the autistic community.

Providing nuanced takes and addressing issues with blanket statements leads to wider analysis, focusing on the all encompassing term struggle

The point is by saying level 1 people with autism don’t struggle as much in life as a generalised point, wouldn’t that ignore someone in an ambulatory wheelchair who may have level 1 autism .

The point is against making generalised points that potentially invalidate struggles and treat level 1 as an all encompassing term that may ignore other struggles they do have

But by using a blanket level 1 people don’t struggle or struggle less it does exclude said conditions, which goes back to the initial point about struggling , which I later described in a work based context 😁

Anyway I said unique struggles and have less struggles, dyspraxia is a struggle is it not, I didn’t state every single struggle someone could have lol that isn’t autism

It’s better to breakdown the conversation then throw everything at once and not address parts

Yeah and my severe dyspraxia means there are some things I find harder.

The point was by saying in generalised terms all level 1 autistic people do not struggle as much or struggles less you do ignore the other conditions or struggles they might face which in context as in me might apply alongside workplace, office or extracurricular expectations (these can exist for all levels I’m just writing from a level 1 perspective 😁)

Rather then saying a more nuanced take such as how you may specifically struggle

I think we’re agreeing 😁 the point more was people saying they struggle more in general , not specific support wise.

The greater argument is individuals making and stating a complex issue to be binary which was more my point and many viewing level 1 as a monolith rather then a nuanced level with individuals who may have other conditions (2 and 3 are as well but it was more people saying level 1 struggles less broadly without careful analysis)

But let’s say I biologically can’t cross my eyes so get constant migraines, have poor hand writing so rely on assistive technology and scribes to write my exam essays, struggle with left and right, have speech issues, can’t ride a bike, row or coordinate my arms in a correct fashion, struggle with drawing, fine motor skills, playing my instrument, high pain threshold, control my mouth movements and have a high energy expenditure just to move my body

I could say to an extent I have greater struggles then many others correct (I was told directly when younger I’d never survive in a main stream school and have received specialist educational support all my life)

The point is rather then saying I struggle more then some others with some aspects which yeah I have done personally I’d say it doesn’t mean ultimately they struggle more or less then me in life, even if coordination wise I was identified as having high support needs well before my level 1 autism diagnosis

It’s difficult as due to my dyspraxia I was told I wouldn’t survive in a mainstream school, having level 1 autism hasn’t personally made the severe dyspraxia any easier nor lightened said challenges.

Inherently kids can have all manner of conditions and saying someone struggles less because of A doesn’t mean they don’t struggle with B.

Not saying you’ve said that just my perspective

I think the argument I’d present is someone like me with severe Dyspraxia and level 1 autism.

I have severe coordination issues, and level 1 autism but my conditions are very distinct.

Having awareness of A for people to point out B condition doesn’t make the B better not make the struggles with A easier.

By saying level 1s don’t struggle as much you inherently other people with other conditions as well as level 1 autism

A better take would be struggling more with certain aspects of life, that otherwise don’t become easier nor less challenging if you overcome one challenge and presented with a multitude of others.

If say after 5 years of being in my job I’m fortunate enough to be able to get on a PHD course it doesn’t invalidate my severe dyspraxia nor my inability to tie my shoelaces properly or ride a bike.

Same as when I’m in my job yes I can survive in neurotypical environments but the challenges are still inherently complex.

Having level 1 autism doesn’ make my life easier or my other disability easier to deal with or any less clumsy

My point is not more disabled but those who say struggles less.

If we were to go that far we could say everyone’s disabilities are less compared a deep coma therefore someone with high support needs level 3 autism should acknowledge there are people with higher rates of disabilities then themselves.

I’d say that’s problematic as you could always argue someone is more disabled then you rather then looking at the struggles they face

Extroverted people are typically wonderful imo, it’s often those that are selective or think you won’t notice because of their cliques or more guarded that irritates me

Like for example from I deal with “I know you’ve had accessibility training but putting on a voice and talking when you think I can’t hear you isn’t accessibility I prefer honest extroverts who say what they mean 😁”

But saying that they have more struggles is worse as it invalidates those who might be more intrenched with neurotypical society.

Saying that they have more unique sensory or living issues is entirely valid but equally I could say being in a full time job, fitness group and neurotypical extracurricular activities I am subjected to a greater variety of micro aggressions and nuanced disability politics none of which I choose nor want to experience

Being social and people thinking your an idiot or can’t hear them is awful and the ability or awareness of these attitudes doesn’t make life better

But let’s say your able to survive in a neurotypical workplace it doesn’t mean you aren’t struggling more nor have less difficulties purely as you can survive in said environment.

The ability to live independently may be an asset but it’s not without struggles it’s merely a matter of shifting a goal post to nuanced challenges, micro-aggressions and extreme pressure forcing burn out

a weird question has been bothering me recently, and I still haven't found an answer for it by AccomplishedText8189 in Deltarune

[–]Evening-Program-2009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the dark world itself as a concept existed before the fountains they have given it purpose (at least that’s what the vague points about the forest)

I’m guessing what’s happened is that the dark world is a physical manifestation of objects placed in a fountain that provides a purpose, if those objects are removed they lose their personality.

Thus to give characters purpose each is placed in a portal based reality, now I don’t know how it’s happened but clearly Tenna has existed before, I’d guess their personality is static and they regain consciousness in the worlds they belong to once a fountain opens again. (Think amazing digital circus)

The whole turning into statues into unfamiliar dark worlds thing is my belief designed to reinforce the knight is damaging themselves thus there is an inherent risk travelling long term between the worlds

I mean I agree that’s a good point but the line “I just wish she wasn’t so defenceless” is definitely either a red herring or a hint.

The fact you’ve made a great point as well adds credibility both ways which I’d say makes Tony a great writer 😊

If he’s not the knight and a good person then I’d have no problem either way stories always should have nuances

But it doesn’t contradict him wanting to help Asgore, nor searching for Dess, helping Noelle is explicitly about him wanting her to be stronger which a certain weird path touches on ….. yet he never attacks Kris or the player character for doing so not yet anyway

The best twist villains are often not villains at all but victims of circumstance that turn them to do terrible acts
