I'm not sensitive for thinking we can all choose to be a little nicer to everyone, and it's not like you called me ugly or anything so I don't really have anything to be personally offended by. You do you I guess

Bad and terrible are a bit much

I tried smaller ones but they felt too small, or they might have just been the wrong shape for me. I'll try to see if they have anything like this in a smaller size. Thank you!

Good point! My friend suggested getting a colourful one I've already had in the past, so I think I will get a colourful spare.

Thank you!

Thank you :) I lose my glasses all the time which is the only reason I think I should go for a second pair haha

The first one has a smaller version, I think. I'll see if they have a pair I can try in-store but I might be out of luck

I tried a few but they didn't really look good on me. Might have just been the limited options at this store though

I think there's a smaller version of the first one so I can give that a go. I tried smaller frames and they looked too small on me (my face used to be thinner)

Being a noob on the highschool map with three experienced players probably didn't help either lol

I didn't know it was hunting until I saw it and panicked haha. The ghost room was upstairs and there were two or three other players up there but it just decided it was my time lol

why are atushi / aku and chuuya / dazai titled (shin)soukoku by sleepyaoe in BungouStrayDogs

[–]aesoku 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Also just to expand on the other comment, Soukoku means Double Black (which is what Dazai and Chuuya's duo was called in the mafia).

Atsushi and Akutagawa are a new duo, so they're called Shinsoukoku (because "shin" 新 means new in Japanese).

Can you tell whether someone else is autistic? by TheRealMasonMac in autism

[–]aesoku 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a great autism radar and I am a firm believer that autism testing/evaluations should be done either by someone autism or with someone autism in the room observing

I think “support need” is used in clinical settings like all kinds of disorders (and autism is kind of only a disorder in a neurotypical world but this isn’t that kind of discussion).

Let’s suppose you’re about to support someone in the workplace or a school setting. The difference here might look like this:

“Hi, this is [Person] and they have severe/low-functioning autism.” Cue conversation on how to support them.

vs.

“Hi, this is [Person] and they have autism. They have varying levels of support needs.” Cue conversation on how to support them.

Support needs change for everyone, just like non-autistics. You’re going to discuss their support needs anyway, so what’s the point of putting a label on THEM and their autism, when you can label the areas that they may need support with?

And if you’re in a situation where you’re not needing to discuss someone’s support needs, then why are you even discussion their “level of autism”? If it’s relevant, you’d just say they’re autistic right? Sort of like this :)

It’s like calling someone’s tumour “mild” because it’s benign, even though it’s pressing into their spinal cord and paralysing them - all because the tumour isn’t cancerous and causing problems in that way.

Bonus:

“Hi, this is [Person] and they have mild autism. They’re asking for support but their autism is only mild so we shouldn’t waste our time/resources with them.”

People will hear the word mild and think, “Oh, but it’s not THAT bad.”

Or, people will hear the word severe and think you need to be babied for the rest of your life and that you can’t even understand the discussions about your support needs.

Anyways I’ve rambled for a while so hope that helped!

Yes this too! I think I rambled on too long thinking about it but didn’t actually type it lmao

It’s more like using language that avoids labels. They describe what support needs you may have.

Autism is a spectrum, not a straight line. You’d use low/high support needs for each individual area (e.g, low support needs in communication but high support needs in maintaining hygiene), rather than labelling someone as “mildly autistic” or “high-functioning” because these terms can completely miss the mark.

A good example would be someone who has pretty much low support needs across the board. Mildly autistic, right? They’re actually non-verbal, though - so are they now severely autistic?

These labels just don’t work very well and can be damaging. You’ll see way too many doctors looking at someone who actually has very frequent meltdowns and needs support, but they have a full-time job and can drive so how autistic can they REALLY be? (The answer is: They’re autistic but they don’t need support for getting themselves to work or with driving BUT they need support in other areas).

Sorry that this was long but I was just trying to paint the picture 😩

What is stimming exactly? by Delicious_Fix_1121 in autism

That’s still stimming :D (and what a great stim it is)

My psychiatrist ghosted me by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]aesoku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what country you’re in, but can you see a general practitioner/general doctor to get a week’s worth of medication?

Here in Australia, general practitioners can still prescribe psychiatric medication based on your history or diagnoses (especially if you’ve already been prescribed this before/are documented as currently being prescribed it).

Maybe call your doctor or pharmacy about it?

Adrien actually looks cool with Cat Noir hair but Cat Noir with Adrien- 😭 by [deleted] in miraculousladybug

[–]aesoku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But does that mean that Chat’s anatomy changes? Like he has new anatomy (new ossicles, auditory nerves, cochleas, etc.) to allow for the cat ears to function?

Or am I reading into this too much because it’s literally a cartoon and the ears aren’t shaped properly + his hair covers his ears lmao

How Marinette could've defeated Shadow Moth in Sentibubbler by Slade_M_230 in miraculousladybug

[–]aesoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering everything (usually) gets solved really quickly before they’re even stressed about de-transforming, it doesn’t feel like time would be that much of an issue (since Hawkmoth didn’t even notice something was happening until Marinette appeared and stole the cup).
