My wife wasn’t diagnosed until last year at age 32. She’s been seeing a therapist who is basically using a lite version of social stories and “troubleshooting” social situations and she’s doing so much better now. If she had had access to this kind of therapy as a child, she would have been spared a lot of social and…

I just posted this above, “Hopefully this will be changing as the NIH has recently guidelines saying that in order to get federal funds, researchers have to include both men and women - and if not, they have to make a very good case for doing so (like I specialize in women’s health, so I have to justify not including…

Considering that black kids are disciplined more harshly by schools, they are probably considered to just be bad instead of special needs.

You ask a very good question and gets right into the heart of the matter. Ask any woman who has eventually been diagnosed with a very real and not at all imaginary disease or health condition how many times they’ve been told it was actually anxiety/depression. Or ask a mother who has concerns for their child’s health…

I’ve always thought that autism was just easier to “pass” with as a girl. Boys are supposed to be loud, boisterous, wild etc. Girls are quite, restrained, proper.

I mean, you know why.

As a man (but not a scientist or mathmatologist by any measure) learning that our history of medical research has consistently, and what appears to be agressively, failed to include a statistically significant number of women (if at all) is baffling to me.

I wonder how much race also plays a factor detereeming autism results.

I have no medical background at all, so forgive me if this question is totally off base. BUT given what we know about women often presenting with symptoms different than men (heart attacks, for example), why are we still approaching diagnosis from a one size fits all perspective? Why treat 100% of the population based…

I am so tired of Tomi Lahren: this Anne Coulter 2.0 shtick is killing me inside. And what’s worse, she’s had all this exposure and people praising her opinion at a young age: as far as she’s concerned, she’s The Child What Come To Lead Us, with her unique insights that no one else could possibly have.

Mamie Till, as far as I’ve read, was okay with an open casket at the viewing and the publication of pictures of Emmet’s body in effort to show the world what racist monsters did to her son. I did not read that she signed off on a white artist, decades later, making art of the image for money. I really don’t get how…

If Emmett Till’s mother was ok with it and wanted people to see it then seems more like raising awareness on white on black shootings than anything. Sometimes you have to go with shocking visuals to get peoples attention to a problem. Sounds like this is outrage for no reason.

I doubt if either Trump or Scaramucci is pro-life. And I also wouldn’t doubt if someone claimed they have multiple ex-girlfriends, call girls, and flings for whom they’ve paid for abortions of their offspring. I am more doubtful that Trump has only made 3 women pregnant pregnant 5 times in his harassing, pussy…

I don’t see the big deal. Baron Trump is 12-years-old and I don’t think The Donald has ever met him.

That baby needs to get out of the NICU, pull himself up by his bootstraps and get a goddamn job! #nofreeloadingbabies

I mean this makes perfect sense to me. The child is no longer unborn, so he no longer cares

Maxine is 78. She has zero fucks left to give and she is not putting up with this shit.

I’m going to start watching this every night before bed instead of drinking herbal tea. It will have the same soothing effects without making me have to get up to pee an hour later.

This reminds me, I really need get myself a nice quality print of Beardsley’s The Lacedaemonian Ambassadors...

The bros hire other bros based on potential not actual talent. And by potential I mean the ability to bullshit and do keg stands. Its fucking ridiculous.
