#and i am not diagnosed

[uncanny-tranny]

Not to sound like a person who actually cares about children, but it's so alarming that there's this tendency and trend of not telling kids about their medical conditions that are in their charts.

I'm finding out as an adult that they (though it's not documented who) diagnosed me with a life-long, chronic condition without telling me when I was a teenager. I found out recently when I got curious about my medical charts, and otherwise, I would not have known what's wrong with me. I've been left with more questions than answers, and I feel like a private investigator investigating my own damn health and life.

Is this medical malpractice? Yes. However, I think it also speaks to a broader point of how children are seen to not be entitled to their own lives in any capacity, to the point where they are (intentionally or not) made ignorant about things that are or will affect them.

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive

humans are the experts on their own minds

family may prevent assessment

diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes

diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more

medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it

discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.

Assessment waiting lists often long

medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible

hey fellow photosensitive phuckers,

people don't tag flashing properly. we know this. however. you can also stop all media from autoplaying.

just go into your settings until you find "media auto play" and toggle "never auto play".

and then bam. much safer to scroll through.

this will mess with stimboards and stuff but it's a small sacrifice imo

v tired of coming out to ppl who are familiar and accepting of the aroace term, who then still turn around and say "yeah but you might still one day meet someone, right?" like I promise you most aspec ppl are aware it's an option, but it's still rude

I get you're trying to be supportive, but it still comes off as "don't worry, perhaps you're not really aroace/broken"

im fine, totally neurotypical.

Okay I feel a bit foolish right now because okay, so you know how Crozier hits Fitzjames in the face in EP5 (showstopping moment)? I'm editing a video right now and I picked up that... Someone tell me if this has already been noticed or whatever, but - Due to Fitzjames' scurvy, does Crozier's hit reappears as a bruise on Fitzjames' face? First, note where Fitzjames cradles the spot Crozier hit:

Important to note that it doesn't appear in EP6 (the Carnivale ep). That is an extremely long stretch of time. It first is noticeable in EP7, at the Officer's Meeting, seen here:

And! Then it is doubly noticeable in EP8, during the Crozier and Fitzjames are we brothers scene:

It is still there in EP9 so this is a consistent injury:

So-? I hope I'm not standing in a crowd of Terror fans rn who are all scoffing and saying, 'Obviously???' or worse, but if thats the case why didn't you guys tell me this vital information. What it means for Crozier, to have to look Fitzjames in the eye and know an injury HE COMMITTED is contributing to killing him. I'm gonna throw up.

Art block so when in doubt you just messily sketch The Character.
