I hear you!
Got diabetes age 7. Had a shit time. Decided to use that & become a dr to help kids. Ended up doing dual ICU & anaesthetics. Decided to do a PhD, didn’t have funding to recruit pts + get biostats, so did a masters in biostats & changed my topic slightly.
Realised I love stats!!

The symptoms that made my psychiatrist tell me that I have ASD & ADHD. That said, it’s an irrelevant question. It’s called a spectrum for a reason, and dichotomising to ‘entirely healthy’ vs disabled disregards someone’s lived experience.

My point was that a large proportion of doctors have autism. So, yes, it is a “one of us scenario”.

I’m more disabled from my diabetes than my autism. Other people’s opinion of me is none of my business, and luckily, I don’t care what it is.

Did you know, that in 'honour' of wakefield, there is an #rstats package named after him that generates fake data?
Makes me proud to be an R user.

Or a heat map outling low support, as you’re using GPS?

Do you mean marginalising at each time point? Wouldn’t this be insufficient, because positivity must hold for the joint history of the time-varying confounders and prior exposure values, and marginal checks ignore these histories?

No. I don't teach at the moment. Search committees are free to slide into my DMs, though
