RFK Jr. is a puppet and serves the interest of Trump Elmo.

People don't understand that a state isn't a private company, and you can't manage the state like in the private sector.

Trump is a personality cult. It's not rational and whatever. It's about him and always has been.

Oh, of course, my intent was more "quit the US".

They could just become a European company. I'm just saying.

I'm not even sorry to laugh out loud at the title.

Email won't disappear sooner or later. It's a huge part of communication between companies, nonprofit, state, etc. It may be less between people or with consumers. But, it still is widely use otherwise.

This makes me think that Firefox for Android nightly has in the secret settings a Tab Strip option.

You don't negotiate and speak with a kid in a sandbox having a tantrum. You educate.

I'm waiting to see the bubble poping out.

This is how you can spot a non-autistic. For autistics, it's not just about having stuffs organized. It has a purpose and has a sense.

I can see organized things from the NT point of view. But, it's not organized for me at all. The details don't match what would be organized for me. Just as an example.

With autism in general, it's rarely about what it is visible to the NTs. It's about the invisible. Ask the autistic why and validate it. The person will be happy to explain why.

I don't want to seam pedantic. Levels in autism is profoundly discriminatory.

Profound Concerns about “Profound Autism”: Dangers of Severity Scales and Functioning Labels for Support Needs

My grandfather has a collection of construction engines models perfectly aligned on shelves in the veranda.

You know stories about Hofmann taking some bike trip while being high.

But???

It's really a 4D chess period.

Yes.

I'm not doing diagnosis. But, a psychologist that use "mildly autistic" should not be taken seriously on the topic. There is no level. The DSM 5 TR has level of support. It's very different and these levels can vary from one moment to an other (even in the same day).

More about this in this journal article by Steven Kapp which is an autistic researcher.

You show "little empathy" in comparaison with what? The neuronormativity? This is already an issue. We don't have to compare to neurotypical. We have to validate how autistics shows empathy, emotions, etc. Often, it's by resolving problems. E.g.: This is making you sad so we resolve the problem and you will be better. Advocating for someone is another. Sounds similar to what you wrote about your wife. It's often called "cognitive empathy". This is entirely valid!

First, I didn't write all of them.

Now on the subject of autism and empathy, empathy is widely misinterpreted and misunderstood in autistics. The lack of empathy stereotype is based on the deficit model of autism and therefore on the lack of theory of mind. This model has roots in eugenic and neocolonialism (also known as neurocolonialism) and is deeply ableist.

We have great research with good methodology and ethics (the opposite is true for the deficit model) about autistics not lacking theory of mind and being empathetic (often hyper empathetic). They just show empathy differently than the neurotypical. This is in fact true for many stereotypes about autism. Autism is a different cognitive style to process information, communicate (including emotions) and learn.

It's where the Double Empathy Problem of Dr. Damian Milton comes in. It's the difference and not the lack between two or more individuals/group of individuals that makes the understanding issue.

We are plenty of autistics on Lemmy.

I guess it closes the debate about Musk being autistic. Autistics are more likely to be hyper empathetic.
