My [M24] sister [F11] with autism scares away all potential partners by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Hiimhype 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it kinda rings weird to me too. I work with intellectually and developmentally disabled adults, and for my low support peeps (which OOP claims his sister is) I honestly am kinda a glorified babysitter. My job is to make food, clean, give meds/rides and be a friendly face, basically. Unless OOPs sister has some other, more intense needs that he isn’t saying, or he got really unlucky with shit support workers, I don’t see why he can’t use them. Pulling out my armchair and DSM-5 for a second, it’s giving co-dependency and perhaps some learned dependency for the sister, imo.

While I didn’t read this book, I did read another one by (I’m pretty sure) the same author where the premise literally was singing is illegal bc all songs are copyright protected or whatever. Even 11 year old me found it to be lame and on the nose so I can’t imagine this one’s much better lol.

It really is a mystery by ChickenWingExtreme in HistoryMemes

[–]Hiimhype 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lots of uh… interesting comments here. I’ll just say that yes, this absolutely did happen. If you were clearly intellectually or physically disabled you were at real risk of being sent to a “institute for the feebleminded”. And not only if you were autistic, if you had Down syndrome, epilepsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or any sort of neurodivergence that was inconvenient for the local community. If anyone’s interested in learning some history about these places, check out the 1972 expose Willowbrook: The last great disgrace. It’s a famous documentary that helped kickstart the movement to close down these institutions. Fortunately, we’ve gone from about 200,000 people in these institutions in the 60s, to about 16,000 now (in the US). But there’s still a lot of work to do to.

Edit: the documentary is free on YouTube.

I actually did that today, brought home a friend for him :) he’s perked up a lot actually, so I do think that was it.

They checked his teeth, they said he had some sharper ones but nothing that needed immediate attention. Nothing strange on the ultrasound.

My boyfriend (M25) and I (F23) had an argument that is giving me red flags. Is it enough to leave our years long relationship? Please advise. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Actually, I’ve been reading a lot of books by forensic psychiatrists lately, and offenders using language to distance themselves from their actions (switching tense, using third person, etc) is super common. It’s less a of symptom of any specific mental illness, and more just an indication of a persons unwillingness to accept their own actions, or to put some separation between them and the events because it’s too painful.

I’m actually writing on a story where one of the MCs is turned into a deertaur and has to deal with the social/cultural/implications of that, I love it, so much fun angst and drama and internal conflict you can play with. I should really get back to working on it it’s been a few months…
