@tjhexf it's easier if i point at the DSM-V but here you go:
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i say this as someone who can't find a better diagnosis for what i have though. i just wasn't diagnosed with it because they removed the diagnosis completely literally a couple days before my official diagnosis
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] so now i just have autism spectrum disorder + adhd and the AuDHD or whatever stupid fucking shit
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf this is a hugely important insight! i'm sorry you had to learn it.
the things in ones medical records are overwhelmingly used to hurt patients.
i routinely tell doctors NOT to chart specific things we talk about and often get medications out-of-pocket to keep them off my "record".
all this stuff gets weaponized by insurers when they want to deny coverage or - at worst - cops and the legal system should you ever be thrown into it.
it's so bad
β -
@[email protected] @[email protected] i mean i am not complaining that i haven't been diagnosed with the disease a nazi eugenicist literally made up but you know
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] me trying to explain to insurance I canβt just go without the adhd meds that make me functional itβs not an optional cost
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf wait wdym?
are you talking about Hans Asperger? bc afaik he only created the "Aspergers" diagnosis?
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] wasn't he literally hired by the nazis
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] https://tidsskriftet.no/en/2019/05/essay/asperger-nazis-and-children-history-birth-diagnosis yeah (not the first one of these articles)
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf hans asperger was a nazi, yeah, but iirc he didn't like "make up" the entire thing
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] it's kind of hard to believe that when his name is next to child euthanasia programs
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i mean i might just be cynical but i can see "make up a disorder regarding a subset of behavior a population exhibits" and then using that to go "haha". because aspergers is such a nondescript diagnosis the criteria is insane and it was slapped on everyone for a while.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] kid acting up in class? is a bit awkward? aspergers.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf I'm saying more that he wasn't much involved with the creation of the term "autism" itself, yk?
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i feel as though the approach for finding this disorder was searching for it instead of making observations. you study any group of people long enough and there's bound to be weird traits/behavior they exhibit.
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] yea but i actually do have "autism spectrum disorder"
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] i was mainly talking about how i am not exactly devastated at not having the label "aspergers" considering it came from well Hans.
-
@puppygirlhornypost2 @tjhexf ah, I see
yeah this is exactly why I refuse to refer to it using that name lol
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] id admire the hustle of making shit up to appease the Nazis but considering the long term consequences it just goes into "pure 100% undeniably evil" something weβd be better off as a society if it never happened
