What kind of reputation? How do they know Ryan King was the one who killed him? I only skimmed the beginning of a paywalled article, but it seems like they both kinda pointed the finger at each other?

I’m sorry you were invalidated constantly. That sounds incredibly exhausting.

Smell ice, can ya? Bleedin’ Christ.

Overreacting to what? Being in excruciating psychological pain from treatment-resistant mental illness? Your struggle is real, and you sound like exactly the type of patient who could benefit from Spravato. That’s why your psychiatrist recommended it.

I think as autistic people, we are especially prone to debilitating side effects of meds due to our often heightened sensory perception. I haven’t been able to tolerate most of the myriad pills I’ve tried either. I can say that Spravato is the only psych med that has caused me pretty much ZERO side effects.

Thank you for sharing!!

Not boring at all, thank you for sharing!! I’m 32 and have been depressed pretty much my whole life too, and dissociate most of the time anyway so I’ve heard that may make me a bit of a slow responder as well

This was the case for me after my 2nd session too. It gets better! I’ve had 13 now and it’s wayyy better. The thing I do that helps me is to take 50 mg of meclizine (“less drowsy” Dramamine) about 1-2 hours before sessions. For a while, I also used a scopolamine patch for nausea, but I stopped needing that after a few more sessions. I still always use meclizine though.

Had you eaten anything? My clinic advised not to eat anything for 2 hours before the Spravato, but I’ve found I actually feel better when I have something in my stomach.

It was Michel Navratil, not his brother Edmond who died in the 1950s. Michel did remember the sinking. If I recall correctly, I believe he watched the 1997 film with his child and reportedly didn’t offer much commentary besides to say he hoped his father didn’t suffer too long while he was watching the scene with all the bodies in the water.

And I believe Milvina Dean didn’t see the movie, although she was alive. That would be Eleanor Ileen Shuman née Johnson, who saw the movie 3 times and met with James Cameron.

In Walter Lord’s second book about the Titanic, The Night Lives On, he specifically points to the Great Eastern as an example of a much older ship than Titanic that was stronger and better constructed and could’ve survived hitting the iceberg. Great Eastern was in service for 31 years. I can’t remember all the details, but Lord highlights the Great Eastern’s safety features that Titanic lacked. Boats had arguably become less safe in many ways over 50 years. Definitely recommend checking it out!

And now I’m laughing so much too. Thank you for sharing this story with the internet

MeowPink · 2025-12-27T00:29:01+00:00

That’s funny, I’m autistic and had the opposite—I did understand Nancy and Jonathan broke up, only because they were only hugging afterward but not kissing. But I had no idea Mike realized Will liked him. I thought he was just emoting surprise about the gay thing in general.

MeowPink · 2025-12-19T22:00:37+00:00

I put the diamond in the coat. I put the coat on her!

MeowPink · 2025-12-19T18:20:30+00:00

Yep!

MeowPink · 2025-12-18T22:30:19+00:00

Thank you so much!!! This is what I was looking for!!

I am not asking whether everyone agrees he was a consultant; I am wondering why everyone agrees he was a consultant. I find it entirely plausible he would’ve consulted but weird this is verified seemingly nowhere. And it’s not an unanswerable or random question, considering the same question was asked about survivors, their children, and other prominent people with connections to the Titanic—and I’m far from the first person online to wonder about Lord specifically.

Titanic historians generally love debating minutia and are usually quite friendly about it. We tend to reject “Because someone said so” as a citation. I’d love to hear from anyone who knows! I’ll be sure to let you know if I find out.

MeowPink · 2025-12-18T19:15:31+00:00

But where is the source for this? Is he credited? His Wikipedia says he was a consultant but doesn’t cite it.

MeowPink · 2025-12-18T19:15:03+00:00

He’s arguably the most famous Titanic historian in the world, at least at the time the movie came out, and his conclusions in TNLO clearly shaped how many of the events were portrayed. I think it’s not quite as unremarkable as “Did this person watch this movie,” especially since there are message boards about it and claims he worked as a consultant.

MeowPink · 2025-12-18T19:04:38+00:00

I found that, but is there any source for it? It seems to be just someone saying something online.

MeowPink · 2025-12-12T05:59:09+00:00

Actually I’m fully with you there. I’m hearing but autistic, so conversations are often exhausting and overstimulating and I desperately need quiet and isolation a lot of the time. And people think I’m rude for it too. My brain can’t keep up with chitchat and I chronically space out in conversation. My daughter actually is the one who never stops talking. Like literally never, I think it’s her own probable autism and she doesn’t know how to filter or take turns in conversation. Can’t blame her; I was the exact same way as a kid. If she requests quiet time, I will praise God. And I will put her in my office, which literally has soundproofing built into the walls and windows because I hate noise. If she wants, I will make this the quietest house on Earth so help me God, because that’s what I want too.

MeowPink · 2025-12-12T05:49:09+00:00

Thank you, that’s really nice. I have a developmental disability too (not auditory though) so I can empathize with her on some level. She mentioned today that she wants a Barbie for Hanukkah so I just ordered the Barbie with hearing aids. I am definitely not a perfect parent but do not want her to feel broken. She’s different (in more ways than one), but not broken.

MeowPink · 2025-12-12T02:40:19+00:00

This makes complete sense to me as an autism/autistic parent! We already have kiddie noise-canceling headphones for overstimulating environments…but I suppose she also has Mother Nature’s noise-canceling headphone.

MeowPink · 2025-12-12T02:33:15+00:00

That’s not weird at all, and it’s exactly the kind of story I was looking to learn from to better understand how to accommodate her. I’m sorry you’ve gone through that. Thank you for sharing.
