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

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 us

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 I think your stats are out of date.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 su

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

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 aut

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 substantia

"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 disabi

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

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.

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, b

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. Laugh

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

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 instantl

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.

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
