I’m only alive because successfully killing myself is hard. Bernadette, she/her, smash bros addict, dog person, work addict, ruined beyond repair, stuck in the past. I will defend Amazon and Nintendo like they’re the parents I never had. They did, and will do, nothing wrong, ever.
At this point as much as I bitch about it I don’t even care about what happened to me.
I just don’t want it to happen to anyone else. And getting rid of a disorder label that only serves as a scapegoat and an excuse to give up on a child is the first step to saving anyone else from experiencing what I experienced and saw.
A label that varies that much only causes people to never get the assistance they actually need. That’s the issue. So many children are never given the chance to thrive and have fulfilling adult lives.
Also it’s a dangerously believable scapegoat. So many people will assume a child smears feces and pees themselves because they’re On A Spectrum and not because they’re being raped at home. And then the child never gets help for the trauma, and the rapists get away. I may or may not be speaking from experience.
Nobody deserves that. I don’t think some people deserve it. I think no people deserve it. Everyone deserves the most fulfilling life possible.
I don’t want that label because I don’t even have that shit. I’m not Chinese so why should I call myself Chinese? I’m not a man so why should I call myself a man? I don’t have cancer so why should I call myself a cancer patient? It has nothing to do with being above anyone else.
Everyone deserves a diagnosis that actually means something.
I don’t look down on the dependent people, I fight to avenge their lost time. The dependent people were cheated out of growing and being independent. I honestly believe that only a tiny tiny minority of these people are actually fully dependent on someone else. They were only raised to be dependent, and once they’re actually taught how to be independent, they finally grow, much later in life. These people always blossom into an amazing human being once they’re out of those abusive institutions and away from people who continue to infantilize them and bully them into staying regressed.
Everyone sees that stupid a-word as Person Who Can’t Age Past Three and raises everyone with that horrible label like they couldn’t age past three. And then they don’t age past three until much later in life if they’re given the chance. And while they’re being raised to be a toddler forever, they’re holding in unbridled anger from the way they’ve been treated and several other things. You think the adult screaming and throwing chairs is only angry over not eating a candy bar? The candy was the fly that landed on the straw that broke their back decades ago.
It’s not just my experience, it’s several experiences of several people who were cheated out of childhoods because of that stupid label. I watched people deteriorate into zombies, and I’ve seen them grow out of being zombies. It’s almost as if the Help™ they received for their disability caused their disability.
If we’re all human then why are some people treated like animals, literally being given bits and pieces of snacks as rewards for following commands, and being forced to perform for someone else’s fame and credit?
And for the people who actually are dependent on others: they deserve a therapeutic life where they can be happy. Not one where they’re abused by their caregivers every day like what happens today. And if they can shred paper for a fake job, they can work real jobs that actually benefits society like resetting Amazon delivery stations or being a janitor. Not only are they contributing, they get to socialize and be a part of society, which is what humans deserve.
Just break up that stupid “spectrum” and get to know these people instead of assuming they’re all babies who can’t grow and abandoning them.
I have complex PTSD from being misdiagnosed as that stupid a-word. I see what all these people go through when that six letter death sentence enters their lives too early. It takes a village to raise a child, but all these children were abandoned by the village and the world when they needed support the most.
It’s the same pattern. Everyone assumes you can’t be educated, so they don’t educate you, and you grow up uneducated. They assume you can’t be independent, so they don’t raise you to be independent, and you never grow to be independent. They assume you can’t go to real school, so they don’t put you in real school, and you never go to a real school. They assume nothing can be done about the issues you have, so they don’t do anything about them, and you suffer from untreated mental illness and physical issues. (Hey bartender…) And, of course, the child’s stunted growth is solely blamed on their disorder, and NOT the collective abandonment from society.
Grouping all these experiences into ONE WORD is what causes people with sensory issues to be raised as overgrown dependent babies instead of having a real life, just while wearing gloves and earplugs for example. You say it’s an infinite spectrum, but never oppose the one-size-fits-all approach to it, until the negative aspect affects you. Like right now with this post.
Why don’t you start by not having such an ambiguous label that varies from being as dependent as a bald person, to being as dependent as someone with no limbs? Then it wouldn’t be so stigmatized to the point you’re getting rounded up like wild animals.
Right. You need to use 🤣
I wish I was a melty birb
Yet people received their Pink sauce…
Even if I don’t say anything, I still feel bad for knowing, and extra bad for not helping the person out, but I’d feel worse if I did.
It’s the font from whisper.sh which I’m sure isn’t a thing anymore
Did the blood go to your brain from being upside down for your whole life?
Starbucks
use perfumes you can smell it itis basicallya candy store.The best coffeeis easiest and basic. But it requires natural ingredients. 🤌
Y’all like vegemite, shut up
Do you have a cat? That’s one hell of a way to spell “good”.
Who cares. Starbucks makes every day better. Praise Starbucks. Can’t wait for Summer Flavors!
There are tutorials that have you build a game to learn the basics and syntax and stuff. Oh, right, if you actually do use GameMaker avoid that drag&drop layout at all costs lol it’s not “easier”
But if you have it all written out already, now you just need to read the manual on whatever development platform you chose and figure out how to make the computer do what you have written. Like, if you want the title screen to have scrolling clouds and a bouncing logo for example, you’ll need to find out how to change the logo sprite’s Y coordinate and the clouds’ X coordinate using the documentation.
Tldr do one of those “my first game” tutorials on whatever platform you chose to get the feel of it.
Code isn’t that hard to learn, it just looks intimidating trust me.
Gamemaker and unity are free. Anyone can make a game.
Just make it on your own.
Okay. Hopefully RFK doesn’t trap y’all in the world of “if you don’t like it, get over it”. I got that label out of my life so it’s not my problem. Maybe I shouldn’t care about those who couldn’t be as lucky and couldn’t be saved.
