#and the right diagnoses

[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.

god i wish there was a midpoint between my two ADHD settings, "grey wasteland with a lingering fog" and "someone just took a blowtorch to my neurons"

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"

Why

Why does this redshirt (Galloway) look so happy to be manhandling a deeply disturbed Bones high out of his mind on cordrazine

what happened at his last physical

I’m a little obsessed with hsr’s mc so far cause she literally only has two modes:

1) imma smack you with this cone thing I just found

And

2) Literal wet dog. Dead in the eyes. Just done with everybody else’s shit from minute 0. Got dumped in the middle of a spaceship with no memories, no past or explanation, and now everyone’s trying to kill her at every turn. Just straight up not having a good a time.

+ she has a girlfriend

(She’s actually really funny too, and snarky, but I’m too lazy to find those screenshots)

Edit: I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT SHE HAS LIKE A BOMB IN HER CHEST. So. Like, the whole thing makes sense if you think about it.

Chronic pain husk,, save me chronic pain husk,,,,

Days where he leans on the bar more than usual. Flying up/down the stairs being preferred over the pain in his knees, even though it feels as though even his feathers hurt after doing so. Sitting down hurts as much as standing so may as well just do his job to distract himself,,,

A gift drawing of Jordana for the very kind @astra-the-dragon

When I first saw Obelisks I thought there was no way I would be able to draw them without major problems but actually it was pretty nice, the mane was ridiculously fun to draw!

what some people need to realize is that scum villain is the best fandom for effective autism headcanon speedrun strats. first off is shen yuan. now that we've established hes autistic we move to shang qinghua, who is also autistic. and since hes autistic, we can effectively argue that he wrote every character in PIDW as autistic because he was projecting!! with that, the only characters left to headcanon as autistic are shen yuans unnamed siblings. this is the greatest percentage and speed of autism headcanons out of all three mxtx novels

Sun: you have earned you autistic license!

Star: don't you mean "artistic license"?

Sun, looking at Stars extremely detailed graphs of his inner workings and also their random sketches of space: No. No, I meant autistic license.

Neurotype Dysphoria & Gender Dysphoria

Compare the two and Ask yourself... What if ?

Would you treat both these types of dysphoria the same way?

Would you affirm that ppl are not their neurology/biology?

What do you think the repurcussions would be?

parents of disabled kids will be like “we know our kid is disabled but we just won’t tell them about it. we don’t want them to think they’re less valuable than other kids. we don’t want them to feel limited by their disability, we want them to know they’re capable of anything.”

meanwhile those kids are growing up thinking “why is everything so much harder for me than it is for everyone else? there’s no reason i shouldn’t be able to just do this. i guess i’m just a failed, broken person.”
