I don't, but your argument as presented is that the concerns expressed by myself and others with asd-1 are irrelevant because a "cure" could help people with asd-3 Since people wit…

So your evidence for people doing bad faith is your own bad faith description of your supposed antagonisers, which again doesn't engage with any of the actual arguments brought up …

It's great that you believe that asd-1 should not be fixed. Plenty of people do think we need fixing and this "cure" would be the tool they'd need for that If this does not at the …

Well, people tend to get pissy, when you completely disregard their lived experiences and concerns You've shown little to no interest in actually understanding why myself and other…

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that your son is struggling. I cannot comprehend how difficult and stressful that must be for you as a parent I can however speak to what it's like bein…

Whether something is classified as a disorder is imho irrelevant. In the US homosexuality was classified as a disorder until 1973. As I've said repeatedly, society has the mental d…

For the majority of autistic people (ASD-1), their issues are also solely caused by those around them As I said in my original post that spawned this thread (and I think in one or …

Correction: people with an autism diagnosis. You are much more likely to get a diagnosis if you are in contact with the psychiatric healthcare system (e.g. if you are suicidal) Any…

I think this is an "correlation does not mean causation" situation Is the rate of suicide higher among autistic people because they are autistic or because they face discrimination…

It's really nice to hear from someone who's had some of the same experiences as me dealing with autism. People look at me weird when I say that I have never had it as good as I did…

I think that's a false dichotomy. The choice is not between putting it all on "invisible caretakers" and forcing a treatment on a child without consent; a treatment that will affec…

I'm 100% with you I am very lucky to be in a country where my workplace is required to provide "reasonable accomodations" for me. There's still a long way to go to actually address…

OP here First of all, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you're struggling with you self-worth because of your symptoms I don't know you or your story, so I'm not going to assume tha…

OP here The main issue I see with this line of thinking is that there is an underlying/implicit assumption that there is something wrong with being autistic Society has the mental …

Being autistic myself, I feel conflicted about trying to "cure autism" Every day is challenging because I have to manage my energy, mask in social situations and at work, etc On th…

The part that is afraid of not getting voted in next election. As long as they make the voting ticket a two party/person race and ensure that their voters believe the opposition is…

I think this is a very cultural thing. When I interview candidates at my current job, we are interested in hearing about their life outside of work, since we want to know how we ca…

I'm pretty sure this is not over a single user, but this was simply the straw that broke the camels back

The age API is not a prerequisite for adding a location API. You start with the age verification because "think of the children" is an easy sell, then a year from now, there'll sud…

They're pushing for an API at the system level, where they can query the age Such an API can then be extended to provide location data to "help the police find bad guys", track pur…

> if you want strong versioning with source controlled configuration, containers are 1000x easier and give you 95% of the benefit For some I'm sure that's the case; it wasn't in my…

I'm not really sure what your point is, but I'll try to take it in good faith and read it as "why doesn't docker solve the problem for it, since you can also keep those configurati…

I just realised I didn't answer the first question about what keeps me from discovering the issues earlier The quick answer is complexity and the amount of energy I have, since I'm…
