If you're the person* who reached out to ask if it's worth it to keep going —

my view is this: if you can get out to a country with a healthcare system that will work for you? do it.

otherwise? make them kill you.

also some people will outright deny it because they’ve absorbed “ABA/behaviour modification is abuse” but have no idea what behaviour modification looks like, so can’t understand that eg a nurture group they were in and thought was nice was insidiously using behaviour reinforcement on them

(actually hate talking about boxall ‘cos you always see the blood drain from someone’s face when they realise they’ve been in* or administered** behaviour modification and didn’t realise. At here you go, there’s another thing to process.)

my other favourite way to drive myself nuts is to search for “boxall” and see if any one person has tweeted about the behaviour modification method universally used in uk schools. they never do.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

Amish nonsense was started by antivaxx journalist Dan Olmsted in 2005

“Mr. Olmsted found autistic children, but didn't count them – either because he either didn't feel that they had real autism or because it conflicted with his forgone conclusion." 🙃🙃🙃🙃

this etc (some ‘of its time’ language in the screenshot) by kevin Strauss who is embedded in the amish community, the expert in all of this and has 20+ years worth of literature on it

i am so bored of 20 year old debunked zombie shit claims doing the rounds over and over again

An Amish boy, born in Somerset County in 1998, had psychomotor delay and slow head growth by 3 months of age, and an MRI showed global cerebral atrophy and hypomyelination. He was seen by numerous pediatric subspecialists but remained without a diagnosis after more than $10,000 of diagnostic testing. We saw him in October 2003, and based on a biochemical workup identified a pathogenic 1129C>T change in MTHFR (87). Despite treatment with high-dose betaine, he remained severely learning disabled [note - not the word the author has used] , autistic, and mute. We made several field trips to Somer-set County where we identified 68 MTHFR c. 1129C>T carriers among 230 healthy members of the deme (estimated population carrier frequency 30%). In collaboration with Dr. Naylor and his colleagues, we developed a LightCycler method for detecting MTHER c.1129C>T in dried filter paper blood spots (28). Midwives offered Amish parents the option of getting a "fifth blood spot" to test for the MTHFR mutation. The first newborn diagnosed by LightCycler screening in 2004 was sister to the proband
(87). She started therapy during her second week of life and has no signs of brain damage after four years of follow up.
