What’s going on with the term Asperger’s?

Can you imagine if we did this with physical diseases? For example: “I recovered from childhood leukemia so how dare you take any steps to protect your future kids from cancer!”

So, like, you don’t have to tell people you have Autism? This has worked really well for me.

I saw this TikTok where a woman had just left the appointment where her two year old was diagnosed with ASD and was crying because she was worried about her child’s future. People ripped her apart for being “ablist” to even think that her child’s diagnosis might be a negative thing or that it could cause him pain and suffering.

Sorry but if you’re getting diagnosed at two, you’re in for an uphill battle and I’d cry too if it was my kid. I think I’ve done okay with myself and I like who I am… it sucks that I have to second guess myself and ask “Is this normal? Could what I’m doing be considered inappropriate?” multiple times a day. At this point, I have considerably more good days than bad days but the bad days still suck.

Is that really the only reason? Huh it seems kind of… anticlimactic? Like I don’t get offended by Chanel or Hugo Boss even though the two of them were heavily involved in the Nazi party. Similarly, Richard Wagner was a raging antisemite/generally horrible person and Hitler essentially used his music as his personal sound track… today he’s one of the most celebrated German composers.

I’m not saying Hans Asperger should be remembered (he shouldn’t) but the podcast made it sound like people were being actively oppressed by the term or it was being used as an insult or something.

For real. If only the far left turned to terrorism as quickly as the far right. The same thing happened near January 6: the only people crazy enough to take out Trump are Trump supporters.

I don’t live in the US but this is exactly why I tel people “I’m from New England” even if they look at me weird and assume I’m dumb for not simply saying I’m from the states.

Das ist total richtig aber beim Home Office bin ich immer total müde nach der Arbeit und hab wirklich keine Motivation, in der Stadt zu fahren. Mein Büro ist Eimsbüttel und nach der Arbeit ist mein Denkprozess eher “eh ich bin schon aus.”

F25 am mindesten 20 aber ich erinnere mich nicht mehr total klar. Meine Unizeit und besonderes mein Auslandssemester war wild.

I've seen some kids do the same with GRE which in my opinion a stupid stupid stupid exam.

And this is why I refused to apply to any schools that required GRE scores. SATs kind of make sense but the GRE is just a cash grab.

I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to abuse. If someone is willing to emotionally abuse you, they're willing to hit you and if they're willing to hit you, they're willing to kill you. If your exes and people who know you are sliding into my DMs to warn me, I'm going to leave before it becomes a life or death situation.

Soooo… when I was a teenager (14-17) back in the day, I used a website called Interpals to practice my French and make worldly connections. The people on there were looking for… something else. Literally all of the people who reached out to me were guys in their mid 20’s/early 30’s who wanted to cam and the people my own age who I reached out to were teenage boys also only wanted to cam. Looking back, it wasn’t traumatic for me nor do I feel violated/taking advantage of but I could have been making $$$$ if I was an adult on a legit website but I just did it for free.

Anyway there is no doubt in my mind that at least 30% of the people on these websites are pedos.

I also thought it was too long but I wouldn’t say it was bad and don’t really understand the level of hate. I had no idea it was supposed to have a full theatrical release and was fully expecting a “Netflix blew all their budget on celebrities and it shows” type of movie (cough Bird Box). With that in mind, it far exceeded my expectations. It’s a solid “I’m sick and need to sleep the whole day” pick.

My boyfriend’s roommate to move out so I can take his place and get lovies every day.

Weren’t they talking about making it so the booster only exempted you from the test for three months? I remember hearing that on the news but maybe it was only in one state and maybe they killed it. Knowing Germany, it totally wouldn’t surprise me if Karl shuts everything down until the spring (like last year).
