  • Yes, but make sure to film it.

    • I am autistic, an autist, not a “person with autism”

    Jump

  • It very much sounds like she's not getting it, and isn't willing to learn. I'd definitely find someone else.

    It's up to you if you want to tell your current therapist, and why. I doubt it'll make any difference in her approach.

    • Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'

  • You don't "Develop ADHD", you're born with it.

    • Samsung wants future phones to have no Settings menu at all

  • I can't wait for Bixby Settings to gaslight me about the option to pick another on-screen keyboard than the official Samsung one...

    • The popularity of Minecraft has probably led some children to believe you can swim up waterfalls

    • I am autistic, an autist, not a “person with autism”

    Jump

  • There are newer types of CBT that are autism friendly/aware, but it's unlikely for your average therapist to 1; be trained in them and 2; be aware of, and able to spot autism in a patient.

    I've had multiple therapists and psychiatrists where, despite them having many years experience I was their first autistic patient.

    Perhaps it is different elsewhere in the world, but that's how it is in Denmark.

  • And (edit: traditional) CBT is widely known to not be effective (and in fact often harmful) for autistic individuals. There is no "winning" over autism, you can only learn to live with it, and its limitations.

    I used to have the mindset of "not letting autism restrict me". It led to two rounds of severe burnout, depression, cPTSD, and anxiety, lasting multiple years, as well as severe skill loss.

import random

# Pick a random number between 1 and 100
random_number = random.randint(1, 100)
random_number

    • Google confirms it just laid off around a thousand employees

  • They have. They've announced they're going to cut a bunch of features from Assistant.

    • You've been instantly teleported two feet to the left. How does this affect you?

    Jump

    • Are straws an unnecessary (but convenient) invention?

    Jump

  • That's awesome!

    BTW, just to make it clear; I'm not saying "Yay plastic, plastic is the only way!". I am saying that the current alternatives aren't suitable for all cases.

    Personally, as a (mostly) able-bodied person, I carry reusable silicone straws with me.
