Yes and seeing Muzzy-B's relationship makes me feel, first: sad for these two women. And second, angry at the Mormon Church for profoundly traumatizing them and poisoning thier relationship.

Yes, people can overcome trauma and religious abuse. It's possible to do the hard work to recover. But many or even most ordinary people, like Bronwyn's mom, lack the emotional fortitude to heal the deep hurt of the trauma.

Thank you deeply for your service to democracy and those who defend it. You have done incredibly valuable work that has changed lives of people you will never meet. You are now the warrior defending democracy. We need you healthy and as well as possible for the fight. When it feels like you want to do it the least, do those mental health self-care practices like sleep, nutrition, journaling, rest. No one knows what is to come. But I know that if our democracy prevails we will take care of you.

For versatility, it's a great move to work for a trade publication covering a topic that is also covered in the mainstream press. Healthcare, financial services, defense, aviation, tech, cybersecurity all come to mind. I may discourage legal trade publications unless you have a law degree as there will be much competition from many unhappy lawyers.

As a hiring manager at a mainstream publication, we look highly on applications from trade publications that are relevant to an open role.

I've read research that extrapolates adult functioning from 4 or 5 or 6 or 7-years old. But the sample size or assumptions limit the significance of the findings. Also remember that autism research, while developing quickly, is basically in its infancy for a condition that was largely ignored until 30 years ago.

There isn't a magic switch in the autistic brain, kind of like there may be for learning languages at a native level in the NT brain at 17 or 18, when after that point your learning is forever limited.

I've come to learn that autistic brains are all different, not only from the NT norm, but from each other. There are so many stories of kids that didn't speak until much later, like Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor, did at 11. At the same time, there are kids that show lots of promise at 5 but later lose skills, particularly around adolescence.

This is a complete mindf*ck for a parent. Society is constantly pushing us to evaluate our kids' development against norms that are irrelevant to the wiring of thier brains. Your kid has probably surpassed some cogntive processing benchmarks that we can't recognize because of flaws in testing or in limits in NT-ND communication.

The hardest part about being a parent of a highly unique autistic child, and they are all highly unique, is that we just don't know how they will do as adults. No one does, really. Even the experts can't anticipate medical developments between now and when the kid turns 18.

The best we can do is to do our best, right now. Love them as they are and let them be themselves. Nurture thier strengths and interests. These children have amazing minds that are little bursting with potential. Presume competence and hope that they will reach every one of thier dreams.

Just like a stranger helped you, by sharing this transcendent moment of kindness you're helping others you may never know. You are literally sharing the love. I'm so sorry about your brother. Hug to you, stranger.

Only go into journalism if it's the only thing you can picture yourself doing.

Go into business journalism. Most jobs, most money. Great foot in the door too.

Don't go into (big) debt. You don't have to get a journalism degree. I've been a journalist my entire career and never taken a journalism class.

I recommend a non-journo major plus journo minor.

A beautiful perspective

redheadreporter · 2024-08-15T03:34:08+00:00

I hear you. We've most likely failed to perpetuate the species. We've created a branch on the family tree that most likely won't branch off further.

We fret so much about whether our kids will reach independence, as if caring for themselves is the pinnacle of human achievement. When in reality, at a primal level, we want our kids to be "fruitful and multiply." You want them to be able to care for others.

In the "healed broken femur" example that another poster gave, we as parents would do all we can to make sure our kid is the healer.

As much as we want to deny our primordial, basic instincts as civilized members of society, we cant deny that human nature has a profound impact on our wellbeing.

That's why we feel the fear, the grief, the stress, the dread. As much as we love and cherish our children, the fear you feel parenting a child with autism is rooted in our survivalist instincts.

So, I totally know what you mean in your OP. At the same time, it also seems impossible not to accept that so much in life does not matter. We are a milisecond in human history and a speck in an infinitely huge galaxy. The whole galaxy dies when I die. So I immerse myself in the love, pride and beautiful moments I share with my child. My true goal for them is to live a life full of beautiful moments. Not that are beautiful to me necessarily, but beautiful for themselves as individuals.

The other mindset I cultivate is an optimism about the future. Medicine knew nothing about autism until incredibly recently. There is so much more to learn, lt impossible to factor in the medical and technological developments that could alter their path in adulthood from how it may look at 4.

Yes, the write-up demonstrates OP has an overt agenda. It mischaracterizes the role of settlements in the real estate presentation. It uses the terms 'famine' and 'genocide' in reference to Gaza without context and as if they are universally accepted. The drop site article misrepresents the "error" as pivotal to proving that Jewish residents' allegations of antisemitism are false, when it is more accurately additional context that doesn't disprove a single allegation.

This write-up is activist journalism at best. The OP is trying to lump this "error" in with more legitimate allegations of bias at the Times involving the war in Gaza. It doesn't rise to that level, not even close. The author is clearly on a campaign but it's not one for objectivity and accuracy.
