I don't, but your argument as presented is that the concerns expressed by myself and others with asd-1 are irrelevant because a "cure" could help people with asd-3 Since people with asd-3 can't speak for themselves, othe

So your evidence for people doing bad faith is your own bad faith description of your supposed antagonisers, which again doesn't engage with any of the actual arguments brought up in counter to your position?

It's great that you believe that asd-1 should not be fixed. Plenty of people do think we need fixing and this "cure" would be the tool they'd need for that If this does not at the minimum give pause to consider how socie

Well, people tend to get pissy, when you completely disregard their lived experiences and concerns You've shown little to no interest in actually understanding why myself and others have expressed concerns what a "cure" would

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that your son is struggling. I cannot comprehend how difficult and stressful that must be for you as a parent I can however speak to what it's like being autistic and what would have helped me growing u

Whether something is classified as a disorder is imho irrelevant. In the US homosexuality was classified as a disorder until 1973. As I've said repeatedly, society has the mental disorders it creates In a society where the nuclear fami

For the majority of autistic people (ASD-1), their issues are also solely caused by those around them As I said in my original post that spawned this thread (and I think in one or two other posts as well), people who are ASD-3 is a case whe

Correction: people with an autism diagnosis. You are much more likely to get a diagnosis if you are in contact with the psychiatric healthcare system (e.g. if you are suicidal) Any statistics done on the subset of autistic people with a dia

I think this is an "correlation does not mean causation" situation Is the rate of suicide higher among autistic people because they are autistic or because they face discrimination due to the way we've structured society? One

It's really nice to hear from someone who's had some of the same experiences as me dealing with autism. People look at me weird when I say that I have never had it as good as I did during COVID lockdowns, but it was amazing that m

I think that's a false dichotomy. The choice is not between putting it all on "invisible caretakers" and forcing a treatment on a child without consent; a treatment that will affect them the rest of their life Here is a list

I'm 100% with you I am very lucky to be in a country where my workplace is required to provide "reasonable accomodations" for me. There's still a long way to go to actually address a lot of the problems that myself and o

OP here First of all, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you're struggling with you self-worth because of your symptoms I don't know you or your story, so I'm not going to assume that my experience is comparable to yours.

OP here The main issue I see with this line of thinking is that there is an underlying/implicit assumption that there is something wrong with being autistic Society has the mental disorders it creates, i.e. autism is only viewed as a d

Being autistic myself, I feel conflicted about trying to "cure autism" Every day is challenging because I have to manage my energy, mask in social situations and at work, etc On the other hand, I like who I am and I'm also ve

I think this is a very cultural thing. When I interview candidates at my current job, we are interested in hearing about their life outside of work, since we want to know how we can best collaborate If they have to pick up their kids in the

The age API is not a prerequisite for adding a location API. You start with the age verification because "think of the children" is an easy sell, then a year from now, there'll suddenly be a massive worry about criminals usin

They're pushing for an API at the system level, where they can query the age Such an API can then be extended to provide location data to "help the police find bad guys", track purchase histories to "prevent fraud";

by Scandiravian 10mo ago
I'm not really sure what your point is, but I'll try to take it in good faith and read it as "why doesn't docker solve the problem for it, since you can also keep those configurations in a git repo?" If any kind of

I think the sibling answer by oasisaimlessly is really good. I'd supplement it by saying that because you can have the entire configuration in a git repo, you can see what you've changed at what point in time I'm the beginnin

I can see your point that it can be daunting to have all the pain upfront. When I was using Ubuntu on my servers it was super simple to get things running The problem was when I had to change some obscure .ini file in /etc for a depend
