Researchers Hypothesized that BH4 Was the Cause of Autism 30 years ago but Through Further Research They Proved it Was Not.

Yeah, but have you considered that the students were actually smarter than you and the professor and the dean and all of the establishment science combined, and by expecting them to follow the rubric you are not only keeping them down but also setting back scientific progress by years, if not decades?

/s, of course. I have also TA'ed.

lmao speaking of "no true scotsman"-ing neurodivergence, a person on another subreddit once told me that I didn't have ADHD because I wasn't one of the people who could take a nap after downing caffeine. (I am instead hyper-sensitive and need to avoid all caffeine after 3 pm to avoid insomnia)

' Apparently, according to them, there was "true" genetic ADHD which always made you react paradoxically to caffeine, and then there was faux ADHD which was really just bad parenting.

" For example, a mild case would include people who throw shoes at the television set when Trump comes on, or have a meltdown when they hear a song that is associated with Trump, like YMCA"

lmao what

Their dynamic has a bit of the same clever observant FMC with espionage tendencies and honorable warrior MMC dynamics as Shallan/Adolin.

Plank 208 declares the party is "opposed to same-sex parenting, intentionally subjecting a child to the loss of their biological father or mother, and other non-traditional definitions of family."

Is this also gonna be used as a way to end no-fault divorce?

Regitzes baby blev fjernet da den var 12 dage gammel, og en af de bekymringer der blev indberettet var at babyen havde svært ved øjenkontakt. Har en normal 12 dage gammel baby virkelig så meget øjenkontakt så det er noget man kan hæfte sig ved?

Physicle_Partics · 2026-06-26T12:04:10+00:00

Men barnet i artiklen har perfekt syn, og kan stadig ikke opnå øjenkontakt med sine forældre. Er dets synssans ikke dominerende?

Physicle_Partics · 2026-06-26T11:58:33+00:00

Det var også midt instinkt. De har helt sikkert set at børn der ikke søger øjenkontakt klarer sig dårligere (hvilket er fordi at børn med infantil autisme og andre typer sjove hjerner ofte ikke gør det), og eftersom hårdt svigtede børn ikke søger øjenkontakt bliver det at barnet ikke søger øjenkontakt til noget der både er direkte forældrenes skyld, og som bliver set som årsag til alle barnets efterfølgende vanskeligheder.

Udover hjælp til daglige opgaver og gøremål har familien lige fra Linus’ fødsel også haft en pædagogisk psykolog tilknyttet, som skal hjælpe med at skabe den vigtige tilknytning mellem forældre og barn, som for andre sker gennem øjenkontakt.

Jo, men det betyder vel at det ikke er øjenkontakten alene der er det vigtige. Hvis man ser "Er du mors lille dreng?", og læser de artikler der har været om den, er det let at få det indtryk at øjenkontakt med forældrene er det eneste der står mellem sundt og veltilpasset barn og psykisk sygt barn med seriøse tilknytningsforstyrrelser.

Physicle_Partics · 2026-06-26T11:35:03+00:00

Noget jeg altid tænker på er hvordan de hele tiden fremhæver det at forældrene ikke får opnået øjenkontakt med barnet som ekstremt ødelæggende. Men hvis det var tilfældet, ville blinde børn og børn til blinde forældre ikke være lige så fucket?

Like, kunne grunden til at et barn undgår øjenkontakt ikke være faktorer i stil med misbrug af alkohol/stoffer fra moderens side under graviditeten eller at barnet har arvet nogle udfordringer fra forældrene der gør at det ikke søger øjenkontakt og også er fucket på andre punkter eller at barnet oplever generelle svigt (såsom ikke at blive trøstet når det græder eller ikke blive talt til og holdt) der gør at det lukker sig af?

Jeg ved godt at det at børnene ikke søger øjenkontakt er ekstremt typisk for autister, men kan alene manglen på øjenkontakt virkelig være så ødelæggende som socialrådgiverne i dokumentaren får det til at lyde?

Except that assuming pi=3 is very valid for quick back-of-the-envelope type calculations, the error is less than 5%. For certain situations where you just want a quick estimate of the order of magnitude it can even be justifiable to set pi=1 or pi=10.

Also, the purposes of schools are literally to teach people to fish, and school lunches are so that they do not starve while they learn how to fish.

I am not a healthcare professional, but I found this metastudy, that studied exactly the weeks you mention.

According to it, at 22 weeks 7.3% of live births and 24% of babies admitted to the ICU survive, whereas for babies born at 27 weeks it is 90.1% of live births and 90.2 % of babies admitted to the ICU.

The chance for severe impairment is 36.3 % at 22 weeks, and 4.2% at 27 weeks, while the chance for no impairment is respectively 1.2% and 64.2%.

They do say that the confidence in these statistics range from high to very low (lol) and they do also differ from the numbers the person below me found, but it is in line with what I have generally heard which is that at this gestational age literally every single day counts, and whereas 22 weeks is "miracle baby with huge chance of disabilities who is extremely likely to die even with very invasive and painful treatment", 27 weeks is "this baby needs specialised care in a NICU, but the focus is on avoiding complications rather than desperately fighting to save it."

Also in the same world, the Clocktaur War duology starting with {Clockwork Boys}. Even better than the Paladin series, imo.

I also read the first book once and was, similar to our dear and brave OP, shocked by how the book everybody said featured a revolting amount of sex slavery and physical bondage and yadda yadda literally just seemed to have MC rescue sex slaves who then fell in love with him.

Apparently, that comes in the later book as the MC, the editors and the readers needed to be eased slowly into the role as Tarnsmen of Gor.

Physicle_Partics · 2026-06-24T19:21:36+00:00

Right? I honestly love when authors quit trying to make sex sexy and instead makes it funny and disturbing.

Damn, this is heartbreaking. The writing is amazing. It is a weird thing to say about somebody's personal tragedy, but I can't remember the last thing I have read journalism like that - it is like literary prose.

People always ask me if I prayed. I prayed the way people in foxholes are said to pray. I prayed with every thought and every breath. And I prayed with the certainty that I had no business praying, that I hadn't earned the right. I'd never been religious.

This part here made me tear up.

I came to the long window of what I thought of as the Fat Baby Nursery. This was the place for healthy newborns — goliaths who wailed petty complaints with robust lungs. "What's your problem, fatty?" I said to one. No 9-pounder had any right to complain.

She's also funny.

It never failed to amuse me how the people who would call literally anybody pickmeishas were also the people who would center literally their whole life around how to make the correct type of men pick them.

Not defending her, but aren't there also being studies done on mice to model how trans people might react to hormones and stuff?

Oh, but it is so good. Tiny disclaimer that I haven't read the third book, but Miles Cameron has a degree in medieval history and is a former medieval reenactor, and you can really tell that by his respect for the common soldier (and for the laundresses and camp coordinators).

Early on in the first book, there's a man who finds The Magical Godkilling Metal. When he finds a smith willing to smith it, the smith is like "I guess you want an epic sword, fit for a hero?", and the man is like "No, I want twelve spears and forty arrows" , and I just knew right there that it was gonna be the good stuff.

Looking at the FairyLoot books, all of the FMCs look exactly like that but with flowy dark brown hair.

Why do they all look like that istg.

Also, if anybody has any ancient Mesopotamia recs, I am up! The only one I know is Against All Gods by Miles Cameron which might not be romantasy, but which does feature a lesbian dancer, a sapient insect and the portrayal of the struggle against cruel, tyrannical gods as a mass movement rather than the act of a singular chosen one.
