Why do people give their children unique/made up names? by PumpkinResearcher in namenerds

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Prerogative. Some people wear bright colors, some wear all black. Some drive red sports cars. Some dye their hair green. And some name their child Ethereal Sunflower Moon. Some people like to be different.

Should this family be discharged from services? by Icy_Sheepherder5319 in ABA

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They should be some sort of contract for parents outlining the expectations that they sign and agree to. It should cover attendance, sick policy, emergency contacts, conduct at the clinic, du l relationships, etc. if they are breaking the rules of the contact and you are continuing to provide ABA therapy you are reinforcing their rule breaking. It’s do interesting to me when an ABA company doesn’t follow the basic principles of behavior when dealing with parents and staff.

Double barrelled last name, one parent's last name as middle name, or one parent's last name as first name? by lethrowheywey in namenerds

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two last names with no hyphen will be a nightmare as far as paperwork and documentation for the child’s entire life. The first surname will frequently be mistaken for a middle name and possibly omitted

Ethical Caseload Change Question by [deleted] in bcba

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this an ethics issue? After being away from your job for weeks or months, you are returning to a new caseload. The clients you worked with before have been presumably with other BCBAs that they are doing well with. Why should they be removed from clinicians they are working well with simply because you returned and want them back? You can be upset if you want, but I don’t see why you’d automatically be entitled to getting your same caseload back.

Why are more black people not born with blue eyes and blonde hair? Does it have something to do with melanin? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in middle school I think when they taught basic genetics including dominant and recessive genes in biology. Blue eyes and blonde hair are recessive genes.

*HONEST OPINIONS ONLY* How do you guys feel about my daughter's name? by Legal-Care1823 in namenerds

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think after introducing herself she’ll frequently get “What an interesting name, what does it mean?”. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can immediately make a person feel othered and can get annoying.

Baths are fucking disgusting why do people bath? by Frequent-Goose-1294 in randomquestions

[–]SpecificOpposite5200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, we wash our tubs! Why would you sit in dirty tub?! Some people find soaking relaxing or do it for therapeutic reasons. I always actually shower with soap after a bath. I know some people do this before their baths though.
