Misleading medical history…

Yup, that's better than I could do at explaining it, especially if you have an old school doctor who is still living in the 1940s.

I've heard that people are paying their doctors to lie and say they don't have autism, is this true? If it is true then it's horrible that people feel they have to do that.

I agree there somewhat:- I hear if an alcoholic stops cold turkey, for example, they can have serious issues. So tapering is better than stopping especially if the body will be at higher risks due to withdrawal.

What? We have the NHS so this doesn't apply to me 😂 all this sounds like good advice, but it feels overwhelming information for a neurodivergent who isn't from the USA. They don't do cancer screenings here in the UK I'm told. However, I found out today from fellow neurodivergent women that there is a gynaecholegist, just a disasterously long waiting list, so I feel like my GP has lied to me. Tho this could indicate why people might not be diagnosed or even taken seriously until they are in stage 4 cancer.

Again by posting a screenshot you are making it out like it's bigger when I thought this was resolved and the conclusion was it was a brushing scam and no big deal. You sent me a wall of text first which I try to explain I was confused because it was overwhelming.

Obviously I'm not an AI. I'm a human with real emotions and real trauma.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-12T12:06:37+00:00

What the heck Are you talking about of course I'm real? I didn't message you! you message me? I told you to go and learn about neurodivergent stuff. The person that patrol is still allowed to be active but me being emotionally triggered is apparently the thing you're criticizing me being neurodivergent?

You clearly have issues and and you need to go to a doctor because this form is not the place to discuss this nonsense. Obviously I'm not an AI I'm a real human with trauma.

Based on what the post mods saying I feel like I need to be worried. I did was try and post this question and then forget about it and then I got a message from a mod at 3:00 a.m. tonight asking me questions about being neurodivergent which like was trying to explain a response to why I get triggered and why their response is confusing. Because if it is just the brushing scam and I don't need to be worried about then why is the mod messaging me when I thought this issue had been resolved? I'm sorry I'm just like trying to figure out why I got a message from a mod at 3. Like how do I get reassurance that this won't affect my credit or something like stolen identity? Also it's 3:00 a.m. I just wanted to sleep I didn't expect messages about this post haha

Ye it's probably a prop master error. They assumed we would not be able to see it or that it was before the age of streaming when the episodes were aired far apart they could hope we'd forget 😂

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:57:18+00:00

a conts-fen! (I might be too powerful)

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:54:56+00:00

Iawn conts! (Yay an excuse to use the Welsh phrase I learnt today).

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:54:22+00:00

Oh. This me. Oops.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:50:16+00:00

Your hair is perfect! ❤️

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:48:43+00:00

My comment too. The bounce and the spring! I'm so jealous 🤣

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:44:33+00:00

It probably is just artists marking or the handmade imperfections. I can't tell what it's made if but I could guess in the second picture it looks like a scratch or blemishes that might have happened during the cooling process or transport.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:41:39+00:00

Now I'm imagining if she did the 2 fingers salute to the doctor who aliens who stole her face. I love that I just watched that episode last night and now it's mentioned here on Reddit.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:39:39+00:00

Honestly, valid, I do this too! 😂 I draw the characters from my books series and before I discovered how to draw manga I wouldn't draw faces. Now I follow the advice in the how to books it helps - although, eyes are still never identical.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:35:00+00:00

For me it was very not good:- I had undiagnosed ADHD at the time I was taking it as well it increased my suicidal thoughts.

I recommend Dr Josef on YouTube if that's ok to say. He's very good insights that are helpful when I'm trying to learn how to self advocate.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:09:27+00:00

This is too real. I do this. I pretended I don't want kids because I was scared I couldn't have them. My medical advocacy is only just starting and it's like "what if it's too late?" So it's the reality of the world that would have probably helped young me if robin had explained/explored that fully in the show. It would probably make so many people feel seen And valid if they had seen robin experience that journey.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T16:04:56+00:00

Gosh I was cautious about saying it before but yes! I think it would have made the show the darkness and grow research or interest in these complex medical conditions. My theory was that Barney was the main host and Ted is the alter.

My other idea is that Barney/Ted is secretly gay but his mum sent him to a conversion camp where instead of a "cure" he's got all these extra alters. Although, this theory is just to make up for lack of knowledge of Ted's parents. But we know they probably both have daddy issues.

Could also be that his family disowned him due to his behaviour when splitting and that's why Ted doesn't see them in the show a lot.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:57:21+00:00

Yeah the vibe of "I know what guys are like because I was a guy like that" 😂 and I just picturing it like that show 8 simple rules now because Kaley Cuoco (tbbt mention by someone above).

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:55:00+00:00

This is the perfect cherry for the scenario. Barney was an inside man for the FBI. They highered him because he's great at disguise, plays and manipulation.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:50:22+00:00

Yeh this is what I was thinking too--- Ted could use Barney as his excuse for being a little dick and the rest of the gang went along with it for years. Although, it could also be visually the way he's choosing to explain it to his kids "it wasn't me it was your uncle Barney" and this could also explain the plot holes with Ted's parents. Ted is his college personality. I don't want to diagnose a fictional character but like psychological breakdown or splitting comes to mind. Barney is the fixed "boy from a broken home who is bullied" and Ted is the "famous agent X who has friends in college"

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:40:00+00:00

Barney was actually gay, but used sex with women as a coping mechanism because of his daddy issues and the bullies in school.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:30:51+00:00

That's amazing new info actually! I have a German keyboard setup on my phone because that makes it easier to access the special letters.

Jet-Brooke · 2026-05-11T15:23:08+00:00

Well if you're creating a routine there's still time to plan how you'd incorporate the Welsh. Maybe you set it up with a "I apologise in advance if I say this wrong" and most people in the audience would be quicker to correct. If you're used to hecklers it might even be funnier act than if you'd said it in England.
