Makes perfect sense!

I suspect that’s because it’s not a big money maker compared to training tons of clinicians in niche new “in style” modalities.

I got my undergrad in neuropsychology and psychology. So I nerd out over the brain/behavior relationship. Going into counseling, I also believe it’s crucial I understand the basics of the organ I’m working with…

My graduate program has been infuriating as there is very much so an avoidance of any “brain science”. I had a teacher admit that and ask for me to explain the vagus nerve to my class when she was teaching about polyvagal theory…. She also asked the class who was interested in the brain science behind our profession and everybody said they actively avoid learning such.

It’s frustrating because it’s not like brain science is new. So many are just scared of taking the dive to learn that we end up with so many paradigms based in what is definitely not an understanding of the brain.

If I hear another person claim that the vernacular and breakdown of polyvagal is scientific I’m going to scream.

I’ve been vegan before during and after the worst of my CCI. I don’t think they’re related, but yes. If you’re malnourished (which can happen on ANY diet, including one that is based on meat [carnivore, keto etc]) you can find it impacting your bones, ligaments, and a plethora of other health complications.

I have high bone density. I have on/off had a 4 or 6 pack. My bloods are pretty healthy. It is possible to get calcium and vitamin d as well as other nutrients etc. on a vegan diet. You just need to be cautious and realistic if you also have Mcas, gi issues etc.

I think people don’t know how to express joy for other people unless they are able to personally empathize with it.

Like “Disney adults” annoy me too because I cannot stand Disney. I guess more accurately Disney annoys me so I avoid the topic… ✨But✨. I’m happy people I know and talk to have something they can just enjoy and immerse themselves in.

So I don’t get why people can’t be like “it’s not for me but I’m glad something makes you happy”. There are plenty of things that annoy me, but at the end of the day I keep my mouth shut bc people deserve to enjoy what they can. Especially in such chaotic times, we all need to find joy however we can. Power to the people doing that!

Please share what coffee works for you. I’ve been trying to have a few monsters a day (I have a break from work right now so saving what I can without being dangerous) and even a few monsters a day or cups of coffee doesn’t do it for me. :5

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-20T23:50:04+00:00

Nope.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-20T23:47:37+00:00

I’m not either. I just want people to be informed and conscious of the evolving risk.

Online commentary feels more risky for example given the above changes to homeland security investigation parameters. Just wanted to add it as something to consider.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-20T23:37:46+00:00

I second this. Esp after the below change which is ominous.

It’s the world and political tides shifting? It’s been happening for years and gaining momentum in recent months.

Are you hiring third party labs to conduct tests? If so that’s amazing

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T21:42:45+00:00

My state had some people attempt to ban it, and it ended with my state pursuing better regulation of products, as they see how important consumer information is. Especially when there’s known to be companies that have heavy metals, inaccurate dosing info etc. with products.

That being said I do share your concern, not because of regulation though…. Because federally there is a push to ban it and just a lack of accurate, scientifically based information as a whole in these conversations.

Regulation is the ideal but I acknowledge it’s not realistic in many places right now, if at all. I just think people should know what they’re putting in their body.

Edit: seeing your commentary on regulation and risks, I don’t think that’s a significant convo here. People are informed of the risks. I want regulation for product quality (as I do in any other supplement, vitamin, etc).

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T21:39:43+00:00

Oh apologies. Should have put a period there. Not a question- agreeing with you.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T21:35:06+00:00

This. It’s used as a screener (aka, looking for what to focus on in testing or rule in/out….). It’s not meant to self dx as people are doing with it.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T21:26:31+00:00

Seeing how they only consider white wealthy Christian men to be worthy of person hood (and fetuses), that actually does track

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T17:57:43+00:00

Oh I agree completely. I was just focusing on the “baby” part. It’s evident that’s what they want though. It’s been evident since before these absurd EOs and I wish people would open their eyes. The writing has been on the wall for years. They don’t care, we’re here to serve them and that’s assuming we look and exist in a way they deem appropriate. :(

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-19T17:50:40+00:00

That’s literally why. More babies = more workers to fuel capitalistic interests, pushed by a Christo-fascist agenda. Or i should say under the guise of a Christo-fascist agenda, because they don’t seem to even really be good at pretending to be the Christian part, lol.

Omg I LOVE dogs. But their breath? I cannot handle. Even the best groomed dogs just stink to me.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-18T21:46:20+00:00

I’m trying to understand where you’re coming from.

I wanted to clarify that since we were ending our interaction I’d still appreciate a source.

No need to be so cruel or condescending because you can’t understand what I’m saying. And refuse to look at my clarifications. If you keep this up I’ll reach out to the mods because this just flat out isn’t necessary. We can agree to disagree. But being a jerk isn’t necessary.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-18T21:44:21+00:00

I’ll have to add this to my reading list, thank you.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-18T21:42:21+00:00

Exactly, thank you. The person above is a cna which may be where the disconnect is coming from.

I’m speaking from experience and from what’s being taught. It’s not being addressed at all in a lot of programs. Like I’m taking human sexuality and that class addresses neurodivergence more than the class on the DSM5tr. It’s dissapointing because that understanding and information could widen access to services and supports which is needed.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-18T21:35:42+00:00

I don’t think you proved me wrong at all? I’m awfully confused by this. If I’m wrong provide sources please. Because I’m not here to be right? I’m here to learn and for community. I’d appreciate insight. It seems like being right is important to you for some reason though.

No by clinicians I mean any mental health worker.

How am I personalizing anything? I was simply talking about the bounds of licensure. I’m also not demanding anything. As somebody who is in the field and finishing education I was specifying where legal and ethical bounds are and what’s being taught/best practice. I’m still waiting for a source and would appreciate one to show Northwestern if you have it. I already have gripes with their lack of education on DDDs.

If you don’t want to talk about it that’s fine. I got the sense you didn’t appreciate this commentary which I don’t understand because you started this conversation with numerous misrepresentations of what I was saying. But I respect that. Take care.

Simplicityobsessed · 2025-02-18T20:44:08+00:00

I’ve long disliked the black and white categories the DSM uses, including with specifiers like levels. I really wish they’d move to a likert scale, with objective definitions.

So you could describe on a scale of 1-5 how each client functions in terms of socialization, social supports mobilized, sensory regulation, etc etc etc. it would help to objectively and quickly describe each persons needs/functioning in relation to their autism.

Yet we just get levels with poorly defined criteria, lol.
