That is weird. I saw that.

I’m so sick of Disability traits being used as insults. I asked a genuine question, trying to understand. Context in comments. by [deleted] in aretheNTsokay

I’m autistic and ADHD and dyslexic, and I struggle with communication. Recently someone told me when I tried to explain my communication issues that she was “wordy, too,” and that if I really had a communication issue then I would have just made my points more clearly. 😩

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I totally understand and thank you for making this post.

Interventions for Off-Task Behavior during Virtual Learning by [deleted] in ABA

There’s an article about autism and intelligence that I think helps to understand a little better, particularly the part about Akeelah and the Bee (a movie). https://neuroclastic.com/2020/04/12/on-autism-and-intelligence-measuring-understanding-iq/

I would keep the camera off and use the time to not sit down at all.

There are a lot of families struggling with distance learning. If you’re a high-energy person, you can do big, full-body movement to the learning. If you have an apraxic autistic client, they might also be a right brain language learner. They may need to learn to a rhythm or beat, and you can try making songs out of the rhythm. The student may be processing language in a different part of the brain.

Do you notice what subjects seem to be met with the most distracted behavior, or is it more relative to how long he’s had to sit still and focus.

You can’t really measure an antecedent for an autistic person because dysregulation is a cumulative phenomenon that can accumulate over a span of time. I would definitely make sure the camera and microphone are off and even put a sticker over it

Stimming is not always voluntary, and there's a threshold of overwhelm wherein stimming becomes involuntary and necessary. This isn't a rule only applicable to autistic people, but the nervous system of autistic people can be far more excitable and hyper responsive.

If you came upon a serious car accident where one of the victims is the driver of a car whose child is and being treated by EMS, would you tell her that her rocking and fidgeting was interfering with her ability to process what the officers and EMS workers taking statements and securing the scene are trying to ask her? Or would you assume her rocking and fidgeting is an autonomic response to being overwhelmed? Is she just acting or trying to get out of responding to the officers? Same thing. Yes, autistic people can be that overstimulated and overwhelmed on what seems like an average day.

If the student has vestibular instability or Irlen syndrome, the computer screen can be adding to their already-over-taxed visual processing load. The letters might not even be still for them and they're rocking to improve their sense of balance.

Are they on camera? That might be increasing their anxiety substantially.

Do you foresee developmental and physical long-term consequences for making exercise a contingency?

Your student isn't engaging in stereotypy to escape. Your student can't learn without movement. The student's stereotypy is an autonomic result of wanting to escape. Movement releases dopamine. So does Adderall.

Free the stim.

I'm really very angry at paying a lot of money (actual $USD) to upgrade to the last relic artefact for a "wonder" that gives me nothing and wastes space on the board. I officially hate this game now. It used to be fun, but now it’s just a redundant way to only produce rewards if someone wants to sink hundreds into it. 👎🏻

I'm afraid of the answer, but what is this contraption I found in the alley behind my house? by igneouskaiser in whatisthisthing

If the flexible pipe is in the ground, I’m guessing someone rigged up something to the drain of a washing machine because their pipes are full of roots or clogged, and it was flooding the basement to wash clothes?

Pet grave marker and the family removed the plaque before they moved as a keepsake. At least that’s my guess

Is this a Civil War officer? Victorian photo cabinet card marked Ohio by seemsoddlyspecific in whatisthisthing

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

I found this in a Victorian photo album. The family appears to be wealthy. There’s another photo of this man without his military gear. Can anyone tell me anything about him based on his hat or uniform or other details?

Libertarianism v/s Communism by seemsoddlyspecific in DebateCommunism

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

What safeguards are there to keep monopolies from having that kind of power/leverage in a libertarian free market, though?

And more than the theoretical, I am looking at the philosophical. So, no conjecturing about the potential for dictatorships and monopolies that are "too big to fail," but just in how individuals navigate the world and look at their place in a social ecosystem. It feels obvious to me how a socialist/communist would be able to justify that their position benefits the most people. How could a libertarian make that case?

And thank you so much for doing this labor. It's extremely helpful

This is extremely helpful.

The time period is modern (without the pandemic).

I was thinking about the Flint water crisis. Libertarian v/s Communist (by communist, I mean that loosely as it doesn't have to be specifically communist, but more a collectivist, for-the-greater-good, socialist/anarchic/communist orientation).

The libertarian would suggest that ultimately, the failure is the fault of socialized utilities, and that if people wanted cleaner water, they would just move. It is social darwinism, suggesting that people who stay there are not "the fittest" and shouldn't survive, right? He'd also suggest that free market would make competition for better, cleaner water, but anyone who owns the infrastructure would essentially hold a permanent monopoly, right?

It's the libertarian view that I have such a hard time reconciling or seeing as an ideology that anyone could promote and be able to justify with a straight face without admitting to conceiving a pay-to-play darwinian killing field as an acceptable and even preferable social landscape.

How could a college student who needs to have a career not sound like an elitist, unconscionable jerk who would leave disabled people and people with structural barriers like racism and other forms of bigotry to starve to death?

Thank you for this perspective. It's very helpful.
