@realcaseyrollins I think we generally agree on the way things should be handled, but have a different take about what's actually happening and how bad it is.

I'll leave the link to Toot! apps.apple.com/us/app/toot/id1 a well received iOS app for mastodon, commercial and proprietary, yet makes 4.5/5 stars on 132 ratings.

And, publicly endorsed by mastodon joinmastodon.org/apps

Antifa boys all look like Jared Loughner. Andy Ngô: Jeremy Edwin Vajko, 27, of Washington state, was arrested again at the violent antifa protest in downtown Portland. He is frequently seen driving around in a "BLM" van & giving resupplies/aid to the rioters. archive.vn/g5obh twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/ #Coulter #Portland #Washington

@realcaseyrollins @LukeAlmighty @thatbrickster I don't think you need to hide them. ADHD seems to be WAY less taboo than autism.

@realcaseyrollins @thatbrickster @xianc78
BTW, what exactly do you feel like you have to "cope with"? (if you don't mind telling me of corse.)

@realcaseyrollins @thatbrickster @xianc78
I would say, that I didn't even have to "deal" tith anything except for two problems.
1) dating... (I heard I am not even alone in this nowdays :pepelol: )
2) my mother just expected a "normal" child. She told me only once directly, but it is quite obvious, that she just is not able to see me as the person I am.

Rest is perfect plus ultra ;D

@LukeAlmighty I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 4. I didn't learn more about my condition until I was 14 when encouraged by my high school mentor, who was dyslexic (but could read and write). If I were to undergo the diagnosis test again I have doubts that I'd be considered 'autistic' considering I can manage it most of the time.

The UK doesn't bother with drugs to 'fix' what doesn't need fixing. It does mean the parents need to have a clue how their child(ren) behaves.

@thatbrickster @realcaseyrollins @xianc78
Exactly. When I was kid, my father was told I would be lucky if I manage to make it through special education. Then I completed basic education without problem. Then high school without problem. Now, I am not only at university,but also in a job so good, I make as much per hour on part time as my father does on full.

And the experts thought I needed more drugs not to be a total parasite. Just ridiculous.

@LukeAlmighty There is none. Autism is a fancy way of labelling how your mind works.

A know these words are forbiden here but:

That kind of offends me :D

I am autistic, and I stopped taking treatements after a week, because I just felt much better without them. Now, 10 years later, my life is amazing and I still do not consider anything to do with autism as an ilness.

It does not reduce my ability to focus
It does not make me emotionally unstable
It does not make me dumb.

Where exactly is the ilness?

@georgia I feel this. I instinctively flinch whenever I see ((())) being used.

@BlackDGamer1 I never understood people saying "my first anime was X". My first animes were the ones I watched on TV as a kid when I had no idea what anime was.
