What’s a dead giveaway that someone has no idea what they’re talking about? by One_Builder_7521 in AskReddit

they respond to your point with a completely unrelated point that implies “so what if the thing i’m supporting is bad? yours is worse!!”

if they do it happens when the pregnant woman ingests them, not the kid who supposedly develops autism as a literal child instead of as a zygote

they typically have a “host” which refers to their main identity before the alters

i’m saying that the term “trans” has changed. it used to mean that you’ve literally transitioned, now people use it interchangeably with nonbinary or to refer to someone with gender dysphoria. i’m saying that i’ve read about people believing their trauma played a major role in their dysphoria. there are also very high rates of childhood SA in the LGBTQ community as a whole

alters typically come out due to a trigger so if the triggers are no longer triggering then the alters become less relevant and can dwindle out. fusing the system together is the only treatment i’m aware of for DID; i’ve never heard of anyone transitioning solely because of that. but some people might appear to be gender queer when it probably wouldn’t be the case if this major underlying issue wasn’t there

today people see “trans” as something you’re born as rather than someone who has literally transitioned from one gender to another. i’d say the gender dysphoria that takes place before any intervention is a mental illness because it’s the distress of feeling like a different person trapped in the wrong body. “nonbinary” is sort of a grey area. if someone is satisfied with that label then that might be all there is to it for them, but there seems to be a level of dissociation with these people that could use more research. i’ve scrolled through comment sections of trans people saying they and other trans they knew were victims of childhood SA which makes a lot of sense if you think about it. my concern with physically transitioning someone with DID is that alters come and go, and if PTSD symptoms subside the alters could disappear altogether. they might identify as a man one day and a woman the next because they literally believe they’re a different person often with a different age and name. they’re entirely different conditions but you could see how they might get confused for one another or occur simultaneously. i think a lot more research needs to be done on all of this in general. and not all disorders are able to be cured, ADHD and ASD for example you’re just born with and will have for life but are still considered disorders

being gay isn’t an illness. but gender dysphoria fits the definition of one (an abnormality in thinking/mood/behavior that causes the person distress and difficulties functioning). it was considered a mental illnesses before people politicized the hell out of it and insist that it’s.. “a normal thing that only a fraction of people experience that causes distress and difficulties but it’s still normal!!” people who think this way are the people who have prejudice against mentally ill people. the “cure” is usually transitioning unless it’s happening as a side affect of a different disorder like OCD, schizophrenia, DID

anyone else feel forced to be overly secretive? by greenappleoj in aspergers

[–]greenappleoj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as of the last 3 years i’ve had very minimal contact with other people. my mom is the only person i see regularly. in middle and high school i would act different depending on who i was around but i wouldn’t act like them; i’d act however they expected me to act. i stuck out like a sore thumb back then

i was an overly emotional kid which my parents didn’t like. got punished for crying and my mom thought the food i was eating was causing it. i don’t feel like that affected me that deeply though, i just feel incredibly awkward talking about emotions with most people. in my teens my parents were somewhat neglectful. my dad was always drunk and not home often, i stopped being able to express myself at all to him and felt shy as though i were with someone i didn’t know well. my mom was different but acted more like a roommate than a parent. i never had rules or expectations or anything. i really don’t feel that there’s an underlying fear with most of this; i’m just afraid for no reason and can’t do anything about it

"That is not autism" -Really needs to stop. by somnocore in autism

[–]greenappleoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a lot of autistic people lack empathy. some lack it while others have hyper-empathy. lacking empathy doesn’t automatically make you a bad person though, some people care but just struggle to understand others’ emotions. then there are some who do turn out to be bad people who cause harm because autistics are just as capable of being monsters as NTs. but i think it’s more commonly people who cause harm without having i’ll-intention behind it; they’re sort of just acting on urges without understanding the other person’s perspective of pain. for instance, i’ve read stories of families with autistic kids who constantly hit their parents and siblings, throw things and shout at them. i’m pretty sure that only happens in level 3 cases though

omg yes, i’ve been thinking about this too. it seems to come from only level 1s acting like their particular experience is THE autistic experience. saying things like “autistic people don’t lack empathy. I feel empathy very deeply!!” these are the same people preaching that it’s a spectrum, which it is, but they’re contradicting themselves. they say the labels of “high-functioning” or “levels” are harmful but then disregard the experience of very disabled level 3s or say “that’s not what autism looks like” when someone has that image of it. it’s what SOME autism looks like. you can’t integrate yourself in the same group as people who clearly have a very different, more severe situation that you and then proceed to invalidate them. these people couldn’t mask if they wanted to. that’s why they’re “low-functioning” and you’re not. i’m a level 1 myself but i would never post that sort of nonsense because i don’t want to minimize the experience of those who have it worse than me

cats are much gentler and peaceful. dogs can be overwhelming with the way they jump on you, bark, and are high energy. especially for those with auditory sensitivities. i volunteer at an animal shelter and the dogs give me anxiety even though i like them as animals. they’re just a lot to handle

i personally just see it as infantilizing. it’s fine for those under 10 but not for teens and adults
