I feel compelled to ask, but don’t demand an answer: what rules did you break?

I presume you’re outside the US? When I got my license in the US (about 15 years ago now), you needed a pulse and a basic understanding of signage for the written part. One of the few things the US gets right is the ADA, which is why we have things like ‘reasonable accommodations’.

That last one was the biggie for me and you still get to have it if you’re subclinical.

That’s what I thought too, but it hit me harder than I expected. You might be surprised. Good luck.

YMMV but if you’re doing the thing where you think along the lines of “sure I’m weird but I get along fine” (borderline offensive paraphrase, sorry), you could be similar to myself in being subclinicly autistic. Just means you’re neurodivergent but not to an extent where you get any medical or legal benefit.

I’ve found that, after my therapist quasi-diagnosed me as such, I have an easier time being kind to myself and realizing what is bothering me and why.

Just food for thought.

This is a nice, optimal idea, but so many people don’t have access to that. As an adult, getting diagnosed is a pain in the ass at best, and that’s if you have decent insurance (USA here). Ultimately, everyone should get diagnosed by a doctor, but till we have the ability to do so, self-diagnosis has the ability to connect to a community that may be able to support someone who does have such a condition, but no ability to get the diagnosis.

Not all of them. Some will commit suicide by five shots to the back of the head.

That’s fair and I would agree, and further guess that I’m reading too far.

That if smells of capitulation without agreement, but thank you in any case. I hope you have a nice day.

Context clues and elementary understanding of language. They stated, prior to mod removal, that they had seen doctors force transitioning. Present tense. This would imply that the person was alive in the 60s/70s (reasonable, though Lemmy’s demographics make that unusual). The more likely, and unprovable on the internet, truth is that the person is regurgitating misinformation.

A quote from someone that quoted the person (incompletely it seems): “seen doctors force sex change to children that lead to the child killing themselves in adulthood”.

This also does not address the inherent misleading portion of it, which is the thing that merits the outrage: cases from half a century ago are not a basis on which to inform people of wrongdoing in modern healthcare. Granted, I didn’t explicitly state that as a goal from the outset, but we’re cuddling up next to bad faith to assert that as unreasonable.

Was. It was common practice. It is not relevant because the person above asserted that it is currently common practice. My goalposts are stationary and your evidence only provides historical context.

Disinformation merits hostility. I’ll yield when I’m wrong.

Because this case ended it, it is no longer true that doctors force transitioning, thus proving my assertion that the person above is full of shit. Show me a relevant case and I’ll be happy to change my mind. Some case in which a doctor forced transitioning and was not prosecuted or sued over it within the last decade. I’m flexible on the date.

They are not referring to detransitioning (which is real though a minority to my understanding). They are referring to the blatant lie that doctors force patients to transition.

Edit: He -> They. Feels really inappropriate to assume gender given the context.

One case in the 60s/70s? That’s bad evidence. I assume you are clarifying and not supporting the person above.

Big claims need big evidence. Source.

Bullshit. Source or it didn’t happen.

Because they only thing they value is money. Right now money, not future money. So long as the numbers go up, the sociopaths in the c suite couldn’t possibly give fewer shits.

Wrong on a human level. On a corporate level, they didn’t admit it was a layoff and so she can’t sue them or get any benefits. Fucking sociopaths are punishing new employees for being hired after they botched the numbers.

I don’t think they ever directly name it in the show (I think they beat around the bush a few times), but I think the only way to code him more as autistic would be to tattoo it on his face.

Also, it’s well established that autism is highly heritable. You don’t have to be low functioning to be neurodivergent.

Which is why you double check your AI’s output.

So can ballet, but there’s an upper limit for people. I could dump a lot of effort with seriously diminishing returns into social niceties, or I can accept this weakness and work around it as necessary. I choose the latter as the former is exhausting and unrewarding.
