Holy shit the profundity of your ignorance is astounding.

My physician told me withdrawal was hard, and laid out all the negative side effects. Searching for them online was pretty trivial too. The pharmacist also spoke to me when I picked up the first bottle, and the pamphlet I received with the medicine also had information about it.

At some point, we have to trust that even if one or two of those fail, the information is readily available and issued four times before you start.

Some we can and do. But many are not things that can be.

Which services, and where is the evidence they do so?

Which terrorist groups, specifically? And what support are they offering specifically?

You say provide tools for communication. Presumably that's every communication platform worldwide - almost undoubtably some sort of terrorist has used each of them.

Love? Affection? Friendship? Camaraderie? Care?

All the stuff you feel towards any other human?

I'm dx'd level 2 and have a job. I think your stats are out of date. Yes, unemployment is high in the autistic community. But it's not to the degree you suggest.

I think it's less than this. Perhaps 25%-40%. But highly variable based on socioeconomic status.

But the parent post is also wrong. Statistics vary, but employment among autistic people is as high as 58% in the US (which shouldnt be surprising, given that many autistic folks have no diminishment of iq).

So, definitely huge unemployment rate, but not so dire are the gp suggests.

You've agreed with what I said. Nothing here is counter to or in opposition to my point.

The person has a disability. Part of the person may be broken, but the person isn't broken. I'm autistic. My sensory processing wiring is different and arguably broken. But I am not. I'm disabled. I can overcome the broken parts that result in my disability with support.

I'm dx'd level 2. I was diagnosed until later. It's hard to be an autistic kid, full stop. Nothing but empathy for you and your daughter.

If it's any consolation, childhood years can be very tough around that age for autistic kids, but many of us find significant communities once we get online and around other autistic people our own age. Many of us go on to be very successful and happy adults once we find our niche.

Level 1 is minimal assistance needed. Simply "requires support". Might need headphones sometimes or additional space to process feelings. This can often be just some extra coaching or training.

Level 2 is "requires substantial support". This is where there are significant obvious impairments to daily life. You may not see emotional reciprocity, and peer relationships may be difficult. Sensory sensitivities may be more pronounced.

Level 3 is where people may be nonverbal or not always verbal. They may need significantly different communication systems like pictures. Aggressive outbursts, repetitive and narrow interests, self harm like head banging, shutdowns or meltdowns from moderate to mild stimulae are not uncommon. They will likely need supervision and may need support to consistently complete basic daily tasks like eating, toileting, etc.

I'm diagnosed level 2. What you are describing does not at all sound like level 1. Perhaps you've flipped the scale and meant somewhere between 2 and 3?

"That person is disabled" and "that person is broken" fundamentally are different. You are supposed to fix broken things. We don't fix disabilities. We can support them, treat them, assist them.

Yes, having a disability is hard. But the person is not broken.

Disabled is the word. Not broken. Not differently abled. We have a perfectly functional word for this.

"Have a disability" and "broken" are not synonyms.

There's no judgement or moralizing in having a disability. Autism and ADHD like you mentioned are disabilities.

But the people who have them are not broken. Having a disability means some part of your life is more difficult. But that's very very different from you as a person are broken.

For example, if you can fix the environment and the person can now function equally to someone without a disability, then maybe it's the environment that's broken. If you can fix the social expectation and suddenly the person can function equally, then maybe the society is broken. Even if you cannot accommodate the person's needs, insinuating they are broken is not a great framing -- it creates a sense of pity rather than constructively looking at means to support them.

What do you mean "broken"? Autistic folks are not broken.

It's a trope for a reason. Having kids does shit to your brain and breaks it in a bunch of ways you cannot anticipate. For better and for worse.

Or, apparently, having a conversation on a forum for conversation.

That's how you get the Democratic Party. No political positions, no political will. But they can be polite!

More related than dupe, as this article includes a statement from the group being labeled terrorist.

Best managers make this the core culture in the team.

Managers coach and develop people. Helping them grow, nurturing their strengths and connecting them with opportunities that help them achieve more.

At least the good ones do.

It's not about two bombings. Yes, the Tokyo bombing was a ghoulish war crime. Obviously.

But nukes as a weapon are fundamentally different. A single airplane can level a city. A single submarine can destroy a country. I'm sorry, but they are a Pandora's box that was opened and changed the course of the world afterwards.

Imagine being so out of touch that you think parents are generally equipped with the knowledge, features, and emotional capacity to manage their child's entire exposure to the internet in a way they cannot or will not circumvent. Laughable.

They are a very, very, very significant contributor.

Only if you don't know what the Luddites were concerned about. HN users tend to be better educated, and understand that the Luddites probably were right -- they weren't anti technology at all. They just wanted the benefits of the technology to be split between the factory owners and the workers. Instead, the factory owners wanted to keep all the benefits and fire all the workers.

Luddites wanted a rising tide to raise all ships.

60 people over a decade dying is not minor. If a school killed two entire classes of kids over their k-12 education, that'd be a shocking amount of death. If a sports team lost 6 players every year we'd shut down the team instantly. Treating 6 deaths as minor is absurd and callous.

It only feels ok because it's so abstractly connected to pollution.

If this data center killed 6 people every year on site due to industrial accidents, we'd almost certainly close it. What Amazon warehouse kills half a dozen people on site every year?

I think you need to educate yourself a bit here. Japan's surrender was inevitable, largely due to Russia pressing them. The war was ending whether those bombs dropped or not.

I think you underestimate the impact Mr. Rogers had on us.

Tooltips pop up in many cases where there's no more being used. Tabbing through items, for example.

Why single out the only two instances of nuclear weapons being used in anger in the entire history of their existence? Why single out the single largest escalation in force in the world's history? Why single out the two largest single bombs ever deployed against an enemy?

Surely you aren't nearly so naive that you think these aren't significantly different from other bombings...
